Jeremiah 49:3; Lamentations 2:10; Jeremiah 4:8

Wail, O gHeshbon, for Ai is laid waste!

Cry out, O daughters of eRabbah!

hPut on sackcloth,

lament, and run to and fro among the hedges!

For iMilcom shall go into exile,

jwith his priests and his officials.


10  The elders of the daughter of Zion

nsit on the ground oin silence;

pthey have thrown dust on their heads

and qput on sackcloth;

the young women of Jerusalem

have bowed their heads to the ground.


For this oput on sackcloth,

lament and wail,

for pthe fierce anger of the Lord

has not turned back from us.
