4  The roads to Zion mourn,

for none come to ^lthe festival;

^mall her gates are desolate;

her priests ⁿgroan;

her virgins have been afflicted,¹

and she herself suffers bitterly.

8  ^xJerusalem sinned grievously;

therefore she became filthy;

all who honored her despise her,

^yfor they have seen her nakedness;

she herself ^zgroans

and turns her face away.

11  All her people ^zgroan

as ^hthey search for bread;

they trade their ^etreasures for ⁱfood

to revive their strength.

“Look, O Lord, and see,

for I am despised.”
