Lamentations 1:4 in Context — Lamentations 1
2 Elle pleure durant la nuit, et ses joues sont couvertes de larmes; De tous ceux qui l’aimaient nul ne la console; Tous ses amis lui sont devenus infidèles, Ils sont devenus ses ennemis.
3 Juda est en exil, victime de l’oppression et d’une grande servitude; Il habite au milieu des nations, Et il n’y trouve point de repos; Tous ses persécuteurs l’ont surpris dans l’angoisse.
4 Les chemins de Sion sont dans le deuil, car on ne va plus aux fêtes; Toutes ses portes sont désertes, Ses sacrificateurs gémissent, Ses vierges sont affligées, et elle est remplie d’amertume.
5 Ses oppresseurs triomphent, ses ennemis sont en paix; Car l’Éternel l’a humiliée, A cause de la multitude de ses péchés; Ses enfants ont marché captifs devant l’oppresseur.
6 La fille de Sion a perdu toute sa gloire; Ses chefs sont comme des cerfs Qui ne trouvent point de pâture, Et qui fuient sans force devant celui qui les chasse.
