{Lamed} O ye all that go fore by, behold and see, if there be any sorrow like unto mine. wherewith the LORD hath troubled me in the day of his fearful wrath.

{Ayin} Therefore do I weep, and mine eyes gush out of water: for the comforter that should quicken me is far from me. My children are driven away. For why? The enemy hath gotten the over hand.

{Khaf} Mine eyes begin to fail me through weeping, my body is disquieted, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the great hurt of my people, seeing the children and babes did swoon in the streets of the city.

{Tav} My neighbours that are round about me hast thou called, as it were to a feast day: so that in the day of the LORD's wrath none escaped, neither was any left behind. Those that I had brought up and nourished, hath mine enemy destroyed.

Whole rivers of water gush out of mine eyes, for the great hurt of my people.

{Pe} Mine eyes run, and cannot cease, for there is no rest.

Mine eye breaketh my heart, because of all the daughters of my city.

{Tsadi} Mine enemies hunted me out sharply, like a bird; yea, and that without a cause.

The lips of mine enemies, and their devices that they take against me, all the day long.
