Let all their wickedness come before thee; And do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

Their heart cried unto the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give thyself no respite; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.

Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
