כָּל֨וּ בַדְּמָע֤וֹת עֵינַי֙ חֳמַרְמְר֣וּ מֵעַ֔י נִשְׁפַּ֤ךְ לָאָ֙רֶץ֙ כְּבֵדִ֔י עַל־שֶׁ֖בֶר בַּת־עַמִּ֑י בֵּֽעָטֵ֤ף עוֹלֵל֙ וְיוֹנֵ֔ק בִּרְחֹב֖וֹת קִרְיָֽה׃ (ס)
내 눈이 눈물에 상하며 내 창자가 끓으며 내 간이 땅에 쏟아졌으니 이는 처녀 내 백성이 패망하여 어린 자녀와 젖먹는 아이들이 성읍 길거리에 혼미함이로다
Lamentations
How the L-rd has beclouded in His wrath the daughter of Zion! He has cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel and not remembered His footstool [(the Temple)] in the day of His wrath.
Lamentations
What testimony shall I bring for you? What shall I compare to you? [(saying: Why are you amazed over your destruction? Did the same not happen to this and this nation?)] What shall I liken to you to console you [(saying: the very same thing happened to so and so)], O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as the sea is your breaking — Who shall heal you?
Lamentations
Their [(Israel's)] heart cried out to the L-rd: O wall of the daughter of Zion, shed tears like a stream day and night! Give yourself no respite! Let the pupil of your eye not be still!
