{Daleth} The streets of Zion mourn, because no man cometh to the solemn feasts. All her gates are desolate; her priests make lamentation; her maidens are careful; and she herself is in great heaviness.

It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

(Tsade) Cry out from your heart to the Lord, O wall of Daughter Zion! Make your tears flow like a river all day and all night long! Do not rest; do not let your tears stop!

{Kuf} Stand up and make thy prayer in the first watch of the night; pour out thine heart like water before the LORD. Lift up thine hands for the lives of thy young children that die of hunger in the streets.

Yea, when I make outcry and implore, he hath shut out my prayer;

I am laughed to scorn of all my people; they make songs upon me all the day long.

What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?

Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;

Offscouring and refuse, dost thou make us, in the midst of the peoples.

LORD, you observed how I have been wronged; now make your ruling in my case.

Thou seest also their sitting down and their rising up. They make their songs of nothing but me.

{He} They that were wont to fair delicately, perish in the streets; they that afore were brought up in purple, make now much of dung.

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through to thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.

Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands.

Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past.
