Latin
And they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary,
And they defiled the sanctuary.
And because of them the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled,
And she became a dwelling for strangers,
Being herself estranged to her offspring,
And her children forsook her.
Her sanctuary became desolate as a wilderness,
Her feasts were turned into mourning,
Her sabbaths into shame,
Her honour into contempt.
