예레미야애가 3:71의 Liturgy

Pour your wrath upon the nations that did not know You and upon the kingdoms that did not call upon Your Name! Since they have consumed Ya'akov and laid waste his habitation (Psalms 79:6-7). Pour out Your fury upon them and the fierceness of Your anger shall reach them (Psalms 69:25)! You shall pursue them with anger and eradicate them from under the skies of the Lord (Lamentations 3:66).

In Elam¹²Persia. He placed His throne to save His loved ones;¹³God saved the Jews from the hands of Ahasuerus who became king of Persia after Cyrus and Darius defeated the Babylonians. to remove from there the strongholds of those who rebelled against Him. From beneath the sword¹⁴This refers to Haman who sought to destroy the Jewish people by the sword. He redeemed His servants. The power of His people, He will exalt,¹⁵After the miracle of Purim, the Jews became respected and feared. praise for all His pious ones. “For though He afflicts, He is compassionate, according to His mercy and His abundant kindliness.”¹⁶Lamentations 3:32 combined with Isaiah 63:7.

To you, Lord, is justice and to us is shamefacedness. How (lit., what) shall we complain and what shall we say? How can we speak and how can we justify ourselves? We will examine our ways and contemplate, and return to You. For Your right hand is extended, to accept the ones returning to You. They are returning to You with all their hearts; accept, in Your mercy, their beseeching. For Your great mercy we have come before You; like weak and impoverished people we have knocked on Your doors. On Your doors we have knocked, merciful and gracious One, do not let us return empty-handed from before You. From You, our King, do not send us back empty-handed; for You hear prayers. The One who hears prayers, to You all flesh shall come. The spirits shall come before You, and all of the souls. The soul and the body are Yours, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, the Rock that none are like You, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, do it for the sake of Your name. We have pleaded for Your name, do it for the sake of Your name. For the sake of Your name, for Your name is Gracious and Merciful King. Your name will be pronounced about us, Lord our God. Your name will be pronounced among us; do not put us aside, Lord our God. Our God, we are embarrassed of our actions and we are ashamed of our wrongdoings. We do not have a mouth to answer back, nor the temerity to lift up our head. For our backsliding has become great, we have sinned before You. We have sinned with our fathers, we have become criminals and wicked. What shall we say before You, the One who sits above; what will we say before the One who dwells up above? Do You not know what is hidden and revealed? You know the mysteries of the world, and what is hidden by every living being. You search the innermost parts of the abdomen; You see the kidneys and the heart. There is nothing that is lost before You, there is nothing that is concealed before Your eyes. If our sins have testified against us, Lord, do it for the sake of Your name. If You should hold on to sins, God, who will remain standing? For from You is forgiveness, so that You will be feared. For the source of life is with You, we shall see light by Your light. For it is not because of our righteousness that we cast our supplications before You, but it is rather from Your great mercy.

The he-goat, [so] great was its might,¹⁷This stanza refers to the Greek persecution, and the Jewish victory through the Hasmoneans. that the (vision of the) four [horns]¹⁸See Daniel 8:8. ascended to His ennobled ones?¹⁹Ibid.

I was handed over to Edom—²²Edomites are descendants of Esau, brother of Jacob. into the hands of my quarrelsome brothers²³Esau quarreled with Jacob over the birthright, and the blessings of their father, Isaac. who daily filled their bellies from my wealth.²⁴The Romans grew rich from the taxes they levied on the Jews.

for His kindness endures forever.²³Each act of kindness that God does with the Jewish People is not of a temporary nature, lasting merely a day or a year, but its effects endure forever, as it is said: “The kindlinesses of Adonoy have not ended nor are His mercies exhausted” (Lamentations 3:22)—Sfas Emes.
