Lamentations 1:7

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Jerusalem sits in her pain, remembering all the good times she used to have before everything fell apart. When her people were taken by enemies and no one came to help, those same enemies just stood there making fun of everything that used to be sacred to her.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes the hardest part of loss is remembering how good things used to be while others mock what meant everything to you.
