Incipit Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae
Language: Latin

Incipit Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae

Aleph. Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo!
Facta est quasi vidua domina gentium;
princeps provinciarum facta est sub tributo.

Beth. Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrymae ejus in maxillis ejus;
non est qui consoletur eam, ex omnibus charis ejus;
omnes amici ejus spreverunt eam, et facti sunt ei inimici.1

Ghimel. Migravit Juda propter afflictionem, et multitudinem servitutis;
habitavit inter gentes, nec invenit requiem;
omnes persecutores ejus apprehenderunt eam inter angustias.

Daleth. Viae Sion lugent, eo quod non sint qui veniant ad solemnitatem;
omnes portae ejus destructae, sacerdotes ejus gementes;
virgines ejus squalidae, et ipsa oppressa amaritudine.

He. Facti sunt hostes ejus in capite, inimici ejus locupletati sunt,
quia Dominus locutus est super eam propter multitudinem iniquitatum ejus;
parvuli ejus ducti sunt in captivitatem ante faciem tribulantis.1
