Lamentations
The book opens by describing a drastic reversal: the once-populated city now sits alone and mourns like a widow. It also says she who was great among the nations has become like a slave (Lamentations 1:1).
1How does the city sit solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces is become tributary!
