י (Yod)
2:10 The elders of Daughter Zion
sit 1 on the ground in silence. 2
They have thrown dirt on their heads;
They have dressed in sackcloth. 3
Jerusalem’s young women 4 stare down at the ground. 5
כ (Kaf)
2:11 My eyes are worn out 6 from weeping; 7
my stomach is in knots. 8
My heart 9 is poured out on the ground
due to the destruction 10 of my helpless people; 11
children and infants faint
in the town squares.
