1 Hear this word, Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:

2 “Fallen is Virgin Israel,

never to rise again,

deserted in her own land,

with no one to lift her up.”

1 Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

2 “Fallen, no more to rise,

is the virgin Israel;

forsaken on her land,

with none to raise her up.”

1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you,

Even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise:

She is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

1 Listen, you people of Israel! Listen to this funeral song I am singing:

2 “The virgin Israel has fallen,

never to rise again!

She lies abandoned on the ground,

with no one to help her up.”

1 Listen to this funeral song that I sing about you, people of Israel.

2 “The young girl Israel has fallen,

and she will not rise up again.

She was left alone in her own land,

and there is no one to help her up.”

1 Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel. 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

1 Hear this word, a lamentation, which I take up against you, O house of Israel. 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more arise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

1 Listen to this message, this funeral song that I sing about you, nation of Israel: 

2 The people of Israel have fallen, 

never to rise again. 

They lie abandoned in their own land. 

There is no one to help them. 

1 Listen to this message that I am singing for you, a lament, house of Israel:

2 She has fallen;

Virgin Israel will never rise again.

She lies abandoned on her land,

with no one to raise her up.

1 Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

2 Fallen, no more to rise,

is maiden Israel;

forsaken on her land,

with no one to raise her up.

1 Hear this word that I am going to intone over you as a lament, O house of Israel! 2 Virgin Israel has fallen and will not rise again. She is deserted on her land; there is no one to raise her up.

1 People of Israel, listen to the Lord’s message. Hear my song of sadness about you. I say,

2 “The people of Israel have fallen.

They will never get up again.

They are deserted in their own land.

No one can lift them up.”

1 Hear this word which I take up for you as a dirge, O house of Israel:

2 She has fallen, she will not rise again—

The virgin Israel.

She lies neglected on her land;

There is none to raise her up.
