Lamentations 1:5

Her foes have become the head ; her enemies prosper , because the Lord has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions ; her children have gone away, captives before the foe .

Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The Lord has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.

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.
