How the gold has become tarnished,
the fine gold become dull!
The stones of the temple lie scattered
at the corner of every street.

פ PeThe Lord Himself has scattered them;
He regards them no more.
The priests are not respected;
the elders find no favor.

{Nun} Thy prophets have looked out vain and foolish things for thee: they have not showed thee of thy wickedness, to keep thee from captivity; but have overladen thee, and through falsity scattered thee abroad.

And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
