כָּל־עַמָּ֤הּ נֶאֱנָחִים֙ מְבַקְּשִׁ֣ים לֶ֔חֶם נָתְנ֧וּ מחמודיהם [מַחֲמַדֵּיהֶ֛ם] בְּאֹ֖כֶל לְהָשִׁ֣יב נָ֑פֶשׁ רְאֵ֤ה יְהוָה֙ וְֽהַבִּ֔יטָה כִּ֥י הָיִ֖יתִי זוֹלֵלָֽה׃ (ס)
Dumaraing ang buong bayan niya habang naghahanap ng tinapay; ipinagpalit nila ang kanilang mahahalagang kayamanan sa pagkain upang manauli ang kanilang buhay. “Masdan Mo, O Walang-Hanggan, at tingnan Mo, sapagkat ako'y naging matakaw!”
Lamentations
The ways of Zion mourn, without the festival-pilgrims. All of her gates are desolate; her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted; and she is bitter unto herself.
Hosea
Ephraïm est abattu, ses racines sont desséchées, ne produisent plus de fruits. Même s’il leur naissait des enfants, je ferai périr le précieux fruit de leurs entrailles.
Proverbs
Do not be among the guzzlers of wine, among the gorgers of meat for themselves.
