Midrash sobre Miqueas 2:4
בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא יִשָּׂ֧א עֲלֵיכֶ֣ם מָשָׁ֗ל וְנָהָ֨ה נְהִ֤י נִֽהְיָה֙ אָמַר֙ שָׁד֣וֹד נְשַׁדֻּ֔נוּ חֵ֥לֶק עַמִּ֖י יָמִ֑יר אֵ֚יךְ יָמִ֣ישׁ לִ֔י לְשׁוֹבֵ֥ב שָׂדֵ֖ינוּ יְחַלֵּֽק׃
En aquel tiempo se levantará sobre vosotros refrán, y se endechará endecha de lametación, diciendo: Del todo fuimos destruídos; ha cambiado la parte de mi pueblo. ¡Cómo nos quitó nuestros campos! dió, repartiólos á otros.

Rabbi Yitzḥak said: Lamentations for those days. That is what you say: “A lamentation will be lamented” (Micha 2:4).
