ג (Gimel)
1:3 Judah 1 has departed into exile
under 2 affliction and harsh oppression. 3
She 4 lives among the nations;
she has found no resting place.
All who pursued her overtook her
in 5 narrow straits. 6
מ (Mem)
1:13 He sent down fire 7
into my bones, and it overcame 8 them.
He spread out a trapper’s net 9 for my feet;
he made me turn back.
He has made me desolate;
I am faint all day long.
ק (Qof)
2:19 Get up! Cry out in the night 10
when the night watches start! 11
Pour out your heart 12 like water
before the face of the Lord! 13
Lift up your hands 14 to him
for your children’s lives; 15
they are fainting 16
at every street corner. 17
