Gustave Doré, The People Mourning over the Ruins of Jerusalem, La Sainte Bible, 1865

Jerusalem weeps bitterly in the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies. [NRSV, Lamentations 1:2].
