Lamentations1:5
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper: for the LORD hath afflicted her ; for the multitude of her transgressions, her children are gone into captivity before the Enemy .
God hath fulfilled his threatning, Deut. 28.43. The Enemy is got above us, and we are brought very low, for the multitude of our sins, directly contrary to his promise in case of obedience ver. 13.
Not only our young and old men, but the little Children, have been driven like Sheep before the Enemy into a miserable Captivity.
