Scripture Content

How lonely sits the city that was full of people! How like a widow has she become, she who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become a slave. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me.
