Lam. 1:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Jer. 52:34      Lam. 1:2

Lamentations 1:1

Alas (woe, how, why), she [Jerusalem] sits alone (like a solitary figure) in
the [once] populous city.
She has become like a widow,
she who was so great among the nations.
The princess among the provinces
has now become a forced laborer (slave).
[The first Hebrew letter is: א – alef. The character represents an ox. The letter symbolizes strength, the leader, the first and the most important. In this verse, it is the word "Ack" that begins with this letter. This reinforces the feeling of sorrow. It is sorrow that takes command and characterizes everything both in this verse and throughout the book. The word asks the question: How could this happen? The word often introduces lamentation and a funeral song, see 2 Sam. 1:19; Isa. 14:4, 12.]
