They shall go into thickets and climb up on the rocks.
Every city shall be forsaken,
And not a man shall dwell in it.
What will you do?
Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
aThough you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you will make yourself fair;
bYour lovers will despise you;
They will seek your life.
The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
She aspreads her hands, saying,
‘Woe is me now, for my soul is1 weary
Because of murderers!’
