Lamentations 1:7

Jerusalem remembers
in these days of suffering (distress) and homelessness
all her treasures
from days of old.
When her inhabitants fell into the hands of the enemy
there was no one there to help her.
Her enemies saw her nakedness
and mocked her destruction.
[The seventh Hebrew letter is: ז – zayin. The character depicts a sword. The letter symbolizes movement and zeal. The letter is used in the word "remember" and reinforces the memory of Jerusalem's glory days, thereby deepening the sorrow over what has been lost. The sorrow feels like a sword in the heart.
Here, the word kedem is used to describe days of old. The word actually means east. This direction has a lot of meaning and is about looking both backward and forward, taking stock of what has been and at the same time seeing and confirming visions for the future. In this phase of the grieving process, one can only remember and mourn, and this is also expressed in the word kedem.]

ἐμνήσθη Ιερουσαλημ ἡμερῶν ταπεινώσεως αὐτῆς καὶ ἀπωσμῶν αὐτῆς πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα αὐτῆς ὅσα ἦν ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων ἐν τῷ πεσεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτῆς εἰς χεῖρας θλίβοντος καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν αὐτῇ ἰδόντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῆς ἐγέλασαν ἐπὶ μετοικεσίᾳ αὐτῆς
