Midrash su Lamentazioni 5:2

נַחֲלָתֵ֙נוּ֙ נֶֽהֶפְכָ֣ה לְזָרִ֔ים בָּתֵּ֖ינוּ לְנָכְרִֽים׃

La nostra eredità è rivolta agli estranei, le nostre case agli alieni.

Eikhah Rabbah

“Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners” (Lamentations 5:2).
“Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers.” What type of turning? It is “like the overturning of Sodom” (Deuteronomy 29:22).
Jeremiah calls it “our inheritance.” Isaiah calls it “the House of our holiness and splendor” (Isaiah 64:10). Asaf came and said: It is not “our inheritance” and it is not “the House of our holiness and splendor,” but rather, nations entered what is Yours. That is what is written: “God, nations have invaded Your inheritance; they have impurified Your holy Temple, rendered Jerusalem ruins” (Psalms 79:1).
