Liturgy sobre Lamentações 5:8

We have been guiltier than any people. We have become more ashamed than any nation. Our joy has been exiled from us. Our heart is despondent from our sins. Our desire is smashed and our glory is broken – the sanctuary of our Temple is destroyed from our iniquities. Our tower has become a desolation; the beauty of our land is for strangers; our strength for foreigners. In front of our eyes, they stole our labor; it is pulled away and plucked from us. They placed their yoke upon us; we bore [it] upon our shoulder. Slaves controlled us; there is no redemption from their hand. Many troubles have surrounded us. We called to You, Lord our God, [but] You distanced Yourself from us because of our iniquities. We have turned away from following You; we have strayed like sheep and have become lost and we have still not returned from our straying.
