RHECHS. Behold, O Lord; for I am afflicted; my belly is troubled, and my heart is turned within me; for I have been grievously rebellious; abroad the sword has bereaved me, even as death at home.

RHECHS. Behold, O Lord, and see for whom You have gathered thus. Shall the women eat the fruit of their womb? The cook has made a gathering: shall the infants nursing at the breasts be slain? Will You slay the priest and prophet in the sanctuary of the Lord?

ZAIN. I remembered by reason of my poverty, and because of persecution my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;

Remember, I pray, the word in which You charged Your servant Moses, saying, If you break [your] covenant [with Me], I will disperse you among the nations.

Remember then that my life is breath, and my eye shall not yet again see good.

Remember that You have made me as clay, and You turn me again into dust.

O Lord, remember me, and visit me, and vindicate me before them that persecute me. Do not bear long with them; know how I have met with reproach for Your sake, from those who nullify Your words.

O Lord, I have heard Your report, and was afraid: I considered Your works, and was amazed: You shall be known between the two living creatures, You shall be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; You shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, You will in wrath remember mercy.

Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingdom."

SAMECH. All that go by the way have clapped their hands at you; they have hissed and shaken their head at the daughter of Jerusalem. Is this the city, they say, the crown of joy of all the earth?

CHSEN. You have heard their reproach and all their devices against me;

And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach; and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burned with fire.

Hear, O our God, for we have become a scorn; and return their reproach upon their own heads, and make them a scorn in a land of captivity,

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,

How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? Shall the enemy provoke Your name forever?

Why do You turn away Your hand, and Your right hand from the midst of Your bosom forever?

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.

Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I have borne in my bosom, [even the reproach] of many nations;

with which Your enemies have reviled, O Lord; with which they have reviled the recompense of Your anointed.

Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us; for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

[Yea], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
