ב Beth

2 She weeps bitterly during the night,d

with tears on her cheeks.

There is no one to offer her comfort,

not one from all her lovers.B,e

All her friends have betrayed her;

they have become her enemies.

ג Gimel

3 Judah has gone into exile

followingC affliction and harsh slavery;

she lives among the nations

but finds no place to rest.f

All her pursuers have overtaken her

in narrow places.
