“For a sound of wailing is heard [coming] from Zion:
‘How we are ruined!
We are greatly perplexed and utterly shamed,
Because we have left the land,
Because they have torn down our dwellings.’”
Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women,
And let your ear hear the word of His mouth;

It has entered our palaces,
Cutting off the children from the streets
And the young men from the town squares.
