Lamentations 1:6
“Everyone who receives the care of souls becomes a prince of the army; and when the prince is not good, then the army is in great danger. Whence Jeremiah laments: "All beauty," he says, "has departed from the daughter of Zion; her princes have become like rams not finding pasture, and they went away without strength be…”
Source: Septuagint
6And all her beauty has been taken away From the daughter of Zion: Her princes were as rams finding no pasture, And are gone away in weakness Before the face of the pursuer.

4The ways of Zion mourn, Because there are none that come to the feast: All her gates are ruined: Her priests groan, Her virgins are led captive, And she is in bitterness in herself.
5Her oppressors are become the head, And her enemies have prospered; For the Lord has afflicted her Because of the multitude of her sins: Her young children are gone into captivity Before the face of the oppressor.
— Lamentations 1:6 —
7Jerusalem remembered the days of her affliction, And her rejection; She thought on all her desirable things Which were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hands of the oppressor, And there was none to help her: When her enemies saw it They laughed at her habitation.
8Jerusalem has sinned a great sin; Therefore has she come into tribulation, All that used to honor her have afflicted her, For they have seen her shame: Yea, she herself groaned, and turned backward.
