A complaint of Zion in prayer unto God.Women have been ravished The Hebrew word for "ravished" is "עֻנּוּ" (unnu), which conveys a sense of deep violation and humiliation. This phrase highlights the brutal reality faced by the women of Zion during the Babylonian conquest. Historically, the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BC was marked by extreme violence and suffering. The use of the word "ravished" underscores the moral and social collapse that accompanied the physical destruction of the city. From a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God’s commandments, as the people of Judah had done. It calls believers to uphold the sanctity and dignity of every individual, recognizing the deep pain and injustice of such acts. in Zion and virgins in the cities of Judah Hebrew Womenנָשִׁים֙ (nā·šîm) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 802: Woman, wife, female have been ravished עִנּ֔וּ (‘in·nū) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person common plural Strong's 6031: To be bowed down or afflicted in Zion, בְּצִיּ֣וֹן (bə·ṣî·yō·wn) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular Strong's 6726: Zion -- a mountain in Jerusalem, also a name for Jerusalem virgins בְּתֻלֹ֖ת (bə·ṯu·lōṯ) Noun - feminine plural Strong's 1330: A virgin, sometimes, a bride in the cities בְּעָרֵ֥י (bə·‘ā·rê) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural construct Strong's 5892: Excitement of Judah. יְהוּדָֽה׃ (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites Links Lamentations 5:11 NIVLamentations 5:11 NLT Lamentations 5:11 ESV Lamentations 5:11 NASB Lamentations 5:11 KJV Lamentations 5:11 BibleApps.com Lamentations 5:11 Biblia Paralela Lamentations 5:11 Chinese Bible Lamentations 5:11 French Bible Lamentations 5:11 Catholic Bible OT Prophets: Lamentations 5:11 They ravished the women in Zion (Lam.
