Jerusalem hath remembered in the days of her humiliation and her fleeings - all her precious things, which have existed from the days of old, - Now that her people have been falling into the hand of the adversary, with none to help her, the adversaries have seen her, have mocked over her sabbath-keepings.

Yahweh hath done what he thought, hath carried out his word, wherewith he gave charge in the days of old, hath thrown down, and not spared, - Thus hath he let the enemy rejoice over thee, hath raised high the horn of thine adversaries.

Wilt thou proclaim, like the day of an appointed meeting - My terrors round about? when there was not - in the day of the anger of Yahweh - fugitive or survivor, - Those whom I dandled and reared, my foe hath destroyed.

Thou wilt, indeed remember, that, bowed down concerning myself, is my soul;

Thou wilt render to them a recompense, O Yahweh, according to the work of their hands;

Thou wilt suffer them a veiling of heart, thy curse to them;

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

Even wild dogs, draw out the breast, give suck to their whelps - The daughter of my people, hath become cruel, like the ostriches in the desert.

Bring us back, O Yahweh, unto thyself, and we will come back! Renew our days, as of old;
