| 23 | I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. | A vision of coming destruction. Jr.4.23-31 | רָאִיתִי אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְהִנֵּה־תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְאֶל־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵין אֹורָם׃ |
| 24 | I looked on the mountains, and lo, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. | רָאִיתִי הֶהָרִים וְהִנֵּה רֹעֲשִׁים וְכָל־הַגְּבָעֹות הִתְקַלְקָלוּ׃ | |
| 25 | I looked, and lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the air had fled. | רָאִיתִי וְהִנֵּה אֵין הָאָדָם וְכָל־עֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם נָדָדוּ׃ | |
| 26 | I looked, and lo, the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before Yahweh, before his fierce anger. | רָאִיתִי וְהִנֵּה הַכַּרְמֶל הַמִּדְבָּר וְכָל־עָרָיו נִתְּצוּ מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי חֲרֹון אַפֹּו׃ ס | |
| 27 | For thus says Yahweh, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end. | כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה שְׁמָמָה תִהְיֶה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וְכָלָה לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה׃ | |
| 28 | For this the earth shall mourn, and the heavens above be black; for I have spoken, I have purposed; I have not relented nor will I turn back." | עַל־זֹאת תֶּאֱבַל הָאָרֶץ וְקָדְרוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם מִמָּעַל עַל כִּי־דִבַּרְתִּי זַמֹּתִי וְלֹא נִחַמְתִּי וְלֹא־אָשׁוּב מִמֶּנָּה׃ | |
| 29 | At the noise of horseman and archer every city takes to flight; they enter thickets; they climb among rocks; all the cities are forsaken, and no man dwells in them. | מִקֹּול פָּרָשׁ וְרֹמֵה קֶשֶׁת בֹּרַחַת כָּל־הָעִיר בָּאוּ בֶּעָבִים וּבַכֵּפִים עָלוּ כָּל־הָעִיר עֲזוּבָה וְאֵין־יֹושֵׁב בָּהֵן אִישׁ׃ | |
| 30 | And you, O desolate one, what do you mean that you dress in scarlet, that you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, that you enlarge your eyes with paint? In vain you beautify yourself. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life. | כ= וְאַתִּי ק= וְאַתְּ שָׁדוּד מַה־תַּעֲשִׂי כִּי־תִלְבְּשִׁי שָׁנִי כִּי־תַעְדִּי עֲדִי־זָהָב כִּי־תִקְרְעִי בַפּוּךְ עֵינַיִךְ לַשָּׁוְא תִּתְיַפִּי מָאֲסוּ־בָךְ עֹגְבִים נַפְשֵׁךְ יְבַקֵּשׁוּ׃ | |
| 31 | For I heard a cry as of a woman in travail, anguish as of one bringing forth her first child, the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands, "Woe is me! I am fainting before murderers." | כִּי קֹול כְּחֹולָה שָׁמַעְתִּי צָרָה כְּמַבְכִּירָה קֹול בַּת־צִיֹּון תִּתְיַפֵּחַ תְּפָרֵשׂ כַּפֶּיהָ אֹוי־נָא לִי כִּי־עָיְפָה נַפְשִׁי לְהֹרְגִים׃ ף | |
