Because of this I must lament and wail,
I must go (A)barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the (B)jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.
For her [a](C)wound is incurable,
For (D)it has come to Judah;
It has reached the (E)gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.
10 (F)Tell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all.
At [b]Beth-le-aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
