ח Cheth

8 The Lord determined to destroy

the wall of Daughter Zion.

He stretched out a measuring linel

and did not restrain himself from destroying.

He made the ramparts and walls grieve;

together they waste away.

ט Teth

9 Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground;m

he has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates.

Her king and her leaders live among the nations,

instructionC is no more,

and even her prophets receive

no vision from the Lord.n
