ז Zayin

During the days of her affliction and homelessness(A)
Jerusalem remembers all her precious belongings
that were hers in days of old.
When her people fell into the adversary’s hand,
she had no one to help.
The adversaries looked at her,
laughing over her downfall.

ח Cheth

Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
therefore, she has become an object of scorn.[a]
All who honored her now despise her,
for they have seen her nakedness.
She herself groans and turns away.

ט Teth

Her uncleanness stains her skirts.(B)
She never considered her end.
Her downfall was astonishing;(C)
there was no one to comfort her.
Lord, look on my affliction,
for the enemy boasts.
