Lamentations 1:8

Back to Verses

Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.

Jerusalem has done something very wrong; so she's been sent away. People who used to respect her now dislike her because they saw her in a vulnerable state. She sighs and wants to go back.
