The Desolate City
6 {Vav} All the beauty of the daughter of Zion is away, her princes are become like harts that find no pasture.

Her enemies stand looking at her, and laughing her Sabbath days to scorn. 8 {Khet} Jerusalem sinned ever more and more, therefore is she come in decay. All they that had her in honour, despise her: for they have seen her filthiness. Yea she sigheth and is ashamed of herself.
