2:11 כ (Kaf)

My eyes are worn out ¹  from weeping; ² 

my stomach is in knots. ³ 

My heart ⁴  is poured out on the ground

due to the destruction ⁵  of my helpless people; ⁶ 

children and infants faint

in the town squares.

2:12 ל (Lamed)

Children ⁷  say to their mothers, ⁸ 

“Where are food and drink?” ⁹ 

They faint ¹⁰  like a wounded warrior

in the city squares.

They die slowly ¹¹ 

in their mothers’ arms. ¹²
