קֶ֣שֶׁת וְכִיד֞וֹן יַחֲזִ֗יקוּ אַכְזָרִ֥י הוּא֙ וְלֹ֣א יְרַחֵ֔מוּ קוֹלָם֙ כַּיָּ֣ם יֶהֱמֶ֔ה וְעַל־סוּסִ֖ים יִרְכָּ֑בוּ עָר֗וּךְ כְּאִישׁ֙ לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה עָלַ֖יִךְ בַּת־צִיּֽוֹן׃
他們手拿弓和槍，性情殘忍，毫無憐憫；他們的聲音像海浪一樣澎湃咆哮。他們騎著馬，人人擺好陣勢，如同上陣的勇士，來攻擊你，錫安女子啊！
Siddur Edot HaMizrach
On the tenth month, the hands of the enemy held a shield and armor. On the tenth of the month, like a man prepared for war against the 'faithful town.' Because of this, gentle community, gird sackcloth; remove your crown and cast it away; raise the dirge to the mountains. Your people calls out a dirge before You on this day, and our eyes flow with water upon the destruction of Your house. Arouse the day of vengeance against the enemies that roar in Your house! 'Let me know Your paths, Lord; teach me Your ways.'
