כִּי֩ ק֨וֹל כְּחוֹלָ֜ה שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי צָרָה֙ כְּמַבְכִּירָ֔ה ק֧וֹל בַּת־צִיּ֛וֹן תִּתְיַפֵּ֖חַ תְּפָרֵ֣שׂ כַּפֶּ֑יהָ אֽוֹי־נָ֣א לִ֔י כִּֽי־עָיְפָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י לְהֹרְגִֽים׃ (פ)
Sebab aku mendengar suara seperti suara perempuan yang sedang bersalin, jeritan kesakitan seperti perempuan yang melahirkan anak sulungnya: suara putri Sion yang meratap, yang merentangkan tangannya: “Celakalah aku sekarang, sebab jiwaku lunglai di hadapan para pembunuh!”
