8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 I must mournH5594 and wailH3213, I must goH1980 1barefootH7758 and nakedH6174; I must doH6213 mourningH4553 like the 2jackalsH8565, And a mourningH60 like the ostrichesH3284.9For her 3woundH4347 is incurableH605, For 4it has comeH935 to JudahH3063; It has reachedH5060 the 5gateH8179 of my peopleH5971, Even to JerusalemH3389.106Do not tellH5046 it in GathH1661, Do not weepH1058 atH1058 allH1058. At 7Beth-le-aphrahH1036 rollH6428 yourself in the dustH6083 inH6428 mourningH6428.118GoH5674 onH5674 your wayH5674, inhabitantH3427 of 9ShaphirH8208, in 10shamefulH1322 nakednessH6181.
