Lamentations 1:5
Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. For the Lord has brought her grief because of her many transgressions. Her children have gone away as captives before the enemy.
Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
Her adversaries have become the head. Her enemies prosper; for the Lord has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
Note When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “Lord” or “God” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh).
Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper; For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: Her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary.
