Commentaire sur Les Lamentations 2:15
סָֽפְק֨וּ עָלַ֤יִךְ כַּפַּ֙יִם֙ כָּל־עֹ֣בְרֵי דֶ֔רֶךְ שָֽׁרְקוּ֙ וַיָּנִ֣עוּ רֹאשָׁ֔ם עַל־בַּ֖ת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם הֲזֹ֣את הָעִ֗יר שֶׁיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ כְּלִ֣ילַת יֹ֔פִי מָשׂ֖וֹשׂ לְכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (ס)
Tous les passants battent des mains à ton sujet; ils ricanent, hochent la tête sur la fille de Jérusalem: "Est-ce là disent-ils la ville qu’on appelait un centre de beauté, les délices de toute la terre?"
