Lamentations 1:1-2 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. How lonely sits the citythat was full of people!How she has become like a widow,who was once great among the nations!She who was a princess among the provinceshas become a slave!

2. She weeps sorely in the night,her tears are on her cheeks;among all her loversshe has none to comfort her.All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;they have become her enemies.
