Verse 7
Lamentations 1:7
Bible in Basic English
7
Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.

English Translation
Remember, O Jerusalem, the days of your affliction and your wanderings, all your precious things that were from days of old, when your people fell by the hand of the oppressor, and there was no one to help her; the oppressors laughed at her downfall.
