Lamentations 1:4 in Context — Lamentations 1
2 Amargamente llora en la noche, y sus lágrimas en sus mejillas; no tiene quien la consuele de todos sus amadores: todos sus amigos le faltaron, volviéronsele enemigos.
3 Fuése Judá, á causa de la aflicción, y de la grandeza de servidumbre; ella moró entre las gentes, y no halló descanso: todos sus perseguidores la alcanzaron entre estrechuras.
4 Las calzadas de Sión tienen luto, porque no hay quien venga á las solemnidades; todas sus puertas están asoladas, sus sacerdotes gimen, sus vírgenes afligidas, y ella tiene amargura.
5 Sus enemigos han sido hechos cabeza, sus aborrecedores fueron prosperados; porque Jehová la afligió por la multitud de sus rebeliones: sus niños fueron en cautividad delante del enemigo.
6 Fuése de la hija de Sión toda su hermosura: sus príncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallan pasto, y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
