[And it came to pass, after Israel was taken captive, and Jerusalem made desolate, [that] Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} sat weeping, and lamented [with] this lamentation over Jerusalem, and said] ALEPH. How does the city that was filled with people sit solitary! she is become as a widow: she that was magnified among the nations, [and] princess among the provinces, has become tributary. |
