גלתה יהודה 

מעני ומרב עבדה

היא ישבה בגוים

לא מצאה מנוח

כל-ררפיה השיגוה

 בין המצרים

                                                                                      Judah has gone into exile

                                                                                      Because of misery and harsh opression;

                                                                                     When she settled among the nations,

                                                                                     She found no rest;

                                                                                     All her pursuers overtook her

                                                                                     In the narrow places.

                                                                                     Lamentations 1, 3
