צַדִּ֥יק ה֛וּא יְהוָ֖ה כִּ֣י פִ֣יהוּ מָרִ֑יתִי שִׁמְעוּ־נָ֣א כָל־עמים [הָֽעַמִּ֗ים] וּרְאוּ֙ מַכְאֹבִ֔י בְּתוּלֹתַ֥י וּבַחוּרַ֖י הָלְכ֥וּ בַשֶּֽׁבִי׃ (ס)
Justo é o SENHOR, pois me rebelei contra os seus mandamentos; ouvi, rogo-vos, todos os povos, e vede a minha dor; para o cativeiro foram-se as minhas virgens e os meus mancebos.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Righteous is the Lord” [1:18]. When arrows were shot at Josiah, the king of Israel, he said: the Holy One is correct and God is righteous, since we have not kept His commandments. When he died, Jeremiah wrote a book about him and said: listen all the nations and see my pain as my maidens and my youths go into captivity.9Lamentations Rabbah, 1.53.
