14:20 Lord, we confess that we have been wicked.
We confess that our ancestors have done wrong. 1
We have indeed 2 sinned against you.
ז (Zayin)
1:7 Jerusalem 3 remembers, 4
when 5 she became a poor homeless person, 6
all her treasures
that she owned in days of old. 7
When her people fell into an enemy’s grip, 8
none of her allies came to her rescue. 9
Her enemies 10 gloated over 11 her;
they sneered 12 at her downfall. 13
ח (Khet)
1:8 Jerusalem committed terrible sin; 14
therefore she became an object of scorn. 15
All who admired 16 her have despised her 17
because they have seen her nakedness. 18
She groans aloud 19
and turns away in shame. 20
צ (Tsade)
1:18 The Lord is right to judge me! 21
Yes, I rebelled against his commands. 22
Please listen, all you nations, 23
and look at my suffering!
My young women and men
have gone into exile.
3:42 “We 24 have blatantly rebelled; 25
you 26 have not forgiven.”
5:16 The crown has fallen from our head;
woe to us, for we have sinned!
