and the weapons of war perished!”

you who laid the nations low!

Lamentations 1:1

How Lonely Sits the City

1 ^gHow lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like ^ha widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was ⁱa princess among the provinces
has become ^ja slave.

Joel 1:18

18 How ^kthe beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer. ^{▼▼Or are made desolate}

Obadiah 5

5 If ^mthieves came to you,
if plunderers came by night—
how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If ⁿgrape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?

Zephaniah 2:15

15 This is the exultant city
^othat lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
^pa lair for wild beasts!
^qEveryone who passes by her
hisses and ^rshakes his fist.
