How is seated alone, the city that abounded with people, hath become as a widow, - She who abounded among the nations was a princess among provinces, hath come under tribute.

His hand, hath the adversary spread out, over all her precious things, - for she saw that, the nations, entered her sanctuary, as to whom thou didst command they should not enter - in the convocation - unto thee!

He hath caused to enter my reins, the sons of his quiver;

To crush, under his feet, any of the prisoners of the earth;

Thou wilt pursue in anger, and wilt destroy them, from under the heavens of Yahweh.

Neither the kings of the earth, nor any of the inhabitants of the world, believed, that an adversary or an enemy, should enter, the gates of Jerusalem!

Young men, a millstone, have lifted, and, youths, under wood, have staggered.
