Lamentations 1:6
And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
The book is a mournful account of Jerusalem's ruin, which Jeremiah had foreseen and foretold as inevitable. It is a lament commemorating the awful sufferings of Jerusalem's inhabitants as God's apostate people. It is Israel's funeral song marking the loss of the nation's former glory, which never returned.
The verse describes Jerusalem after its people and leaders were carried into captivity. The city had lost its former beauty, and its princes had become weak and helpless before their pursuers. The daughter of Zion named in it is a biblical image and name for God's true church.
