51:4 Against you – you above all 1 – I have sinned;
I have done what is evil in your sight.
So 2 you are just when you confront me; 3
you are right when you condemn me. 4
ח (Khet)
1:8 Jerusalem committed terrible sin; 5
therefore she became an object of scorn. 6
All who admired 7 her have despised her 8
because they have seen her nakedness. 9
She groans aloud 10
and turns away in shame. 11
פ (Pe)
1:17 Zion spread out her hands,
but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has issued a decree against Jacob;
his neighbors 12 have become his enemies.
Jerusalem has become
like filthy garbage 13 in their midst. 14
