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
ש (Sin/Shin)
2:21 The young boys and old men
lie dead on the ground in the streets.
My young women 6 and my young men
have fallen by the sword.
You killed them when you were angry; 7
you slaughtered them without mercy. 8
