פ(Pe) All your enemies gloated over you. They sneered and gnashed their teeth; they said,“We have destroyed her! Ha! We have waited a long time for this day. We have lived to see it!”

צ(Tsade) Cry out from your heart to the Lord, O wall of Daughter Zion! Make your tears flow like a river all day and all night long! Do not rest; do not let your tears stop!

ר(Resh)Jerusalem Speaks: Look, O LORD! Consider! Whom have you ever afflicted like this? Should women eat their offspring, their healthy infants? Should priest and prophet be killed in the Lord’s sanctuary?
ש(Sin/Shin) The young boys and old men lie dead on the ground in the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword. You killed them when you were angry; you slaughtered them without mercy.
ת(Tav) As if it were a feast day, you call enemies to terrify me on every side. On the day of the LORD’s anger no one escaped or survived. My enemy has finished off those healthy infants whom I bore and raised.
