[Again throwing herself at his feet] Holy One, anointed of the Lord, star of our hope! Stretch forth your hand and save Jerusalem. What you foretold hath been fulfilled. The Chaldeans are upon us.

A Third Voice
[Despairingly] Save Jerusalem, or we perish.
The Crowd
[Taking up the cry] Save Jerusalem, or we perish.
