To the roof of its mouth because of thirst;

But no one gives it to them.

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people [Jerusalem],
When little ones and infants faint
In the streets of the city.

And a bitter destruction;
And I will send the teeth of beasts against them,
With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not prefer Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.

They have exchanged their desirable and precious things for food
To restore their lives.

How despised and repulsive I have become!”

My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery;
And my [dry] tongue clings to my jaws;
And You have laid me in the dust of death.
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
If I do not remember you,
If I do not prefer Jerusalem
Above my chief joy.
