Lam. 1:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Lam. 1:4      Lam. 1:6

Lamentations 1:5

Her opponents have become leaders (those who lead)
her enemies feel secure (literally "have it easy or light").
For the Lord (Yahweh) has caused
all her transgressions to befall her [Jerusalem],
her young children (dibarn) have gone into captivity
before the adversary.
[The fifth Hebrew letter is: ה – he. The sign depicts a person with outstretched hands. The meaning of the letter is to see, look, breathe, and gain revealed insight into something great and important that has been pointed out. It often symbolizes seeing and having perspective. In this verse, it is the word "Her" that begins with this letter, which illustrates that she can no longer see God, who gives our lives the right perspective, but instead she only sees everything that causes sorrow, thereby further intensifying her grief. In grief, especially in the beginning, one's vision becomes tunneled and one lacks the ability to perceive anything around them. One has only one thing before their eyes: heavy sorrow.]

ἐγένοντο οἱ θλίβοντες αὐτὴν εἰς κεφαλήν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς εὐθηνοῦσαν ὅτι κύριος ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἀσεβειῶν αὐτῆς τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ κατὰ πρόσωπον θλίβοντος
