Commentaire sur Les Lamentations 2:1
אֵיכָה֩ יָעִ֨יב בְּאַפּ֤וֹ ׀ אֲדֹנָי֙ אֶת־בַּת־צִיּ֔וֹן הִשְׁלִ֤יךְ מִשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ אֶ֔רֶץ תִּפְאֶ֖רֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלֹא־זָכַ֥ר הֲדֹם־רַגְלָ֖יו בְּי֥וֹם אַפּֽוֹ׃ (ס)
Hélas! Comme le Seigneur, dans sa colère, assombrit la fille de Sion! Comme il a précipité du ciel jusqu’à terre la gloire d’Israël, sans songer à l’escabeau de ses pieds au jour de son courroux!
