Vav

So all her (A)majesty
Has gone out from the daughter of Zion;
Her princes have become like deer
That have found no pasture;
So they have [a](B)fled without strength
Before the pursuer.

Zayin

In the days of her affliction and homelessness
(C)Jerusalem remembers all her precious things
That were from the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And (D)no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her;
They (E)laughed at her [b]ruin.

Heth

Jerusalem sinned (F)greatly;
Therefore (G)she has become an impure thing.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Even (H)she herself sighs and turns away.
