Lamentations
The poem states that Judah “has gone into exile because of affliction and hard servitude.” It adds that she dwells among the nations but finds no resting place, with pursuers overtaking her in distress (Lamentations 1:3).
3Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; She dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: All her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
