2:20. Res. Behold, O Lord, and consider whom thou hast thus dealt with: shall women then eat their own fruit, their children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
2:21. Sin. The child and the old man lie without on the ground: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and shewn them no pity.
2:22. Thau. Thou hast called as to a festival, those that should terrify me round about, and there was none in the day of the wrath of the Lord that escaped and was left: those that I brought up, and nourished, my enemy hath consumed them.

3:2. Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.
3:3. Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
3:4. Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.
3:5. Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall, and labour.
3:6. Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
