¹⁰ The elders of the daughter of Zion
^(A)Sit on the ground, they ^(B)are silent.
They have thrown ^(C)dust on their heads;
They have girded themselves with ^(D)sackcloth.
The ^(E)virgins of Jerusalem
Have bowed their heads to the ground.

²¹ On the ground in the streets
Lie ^(A)young and old;
My ^(B)virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, ^(C)not sparing.
