"For the ^(w)mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing, And for the pastures of the ^(x)wilderness a dirge, Because they are ^(y)laid waste so that no one passes through, And the lowing of the cattle is not heard; Both the ^(z)birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

"Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, That our ^(aq)eyes may shed tears And our eyelids flow with water.

"For a voice of ^(ar)wailing is heard from Zion, ‘^(as)How are we ruined! We are put to great shame, For we have ^(at)left the land, Because they have cast down our dwellings.'"

Now hear the word of the Lord , O you ^(au)women, And let your ear receive the word of His mouth; Teach your daughters wailing, And everyone her neighbor a dirge.
