megillat eikhah after october 7
All her allies have betrayed her; / They have become her foes (1:2)
Her infants have gone into captivity / Before the enemy (1:5)
In her days of woe and sorrow, / When her people fell by enemy hands / With none to help her (1:7)
When enemies looked on and gloated / Over her downfall (1:7)
Jerusalem has become an outcast among them (1:17)
I cried out to my friends, / But they played me false (1:19)
The Sovereign has laid waste without pity / All the habitations of Jacob-- / Has razed in anger / Fair Judah's strongholds (2:2)
In blazing anger He has cut down / All the might of Israel-- / Withdrawing vital support / In the presence of the foe (2:3)
God has ended in Zion / Festival and sabbath (2:6)
All your enemies / Jeer at you; / They hiss and gnash their teeth / And cry: "We've ruined her! / Ah, this is the day we hoped for; / We have lived to see it!" (2:16)
All our enemies loudly / Rail against us (3:47)
The kings of the earth did not believe, / Nor any of the inhabitants of the world, / That foe or adversary could enter / The gates of Jerusalem (4:12)
Gone is the joy of our hearts; / Our dancing is turned into mourning (5:15)
