²⁸Jedus ton roun ta dem an say, “Oona daughta ob Jerusalem, mus dohn cry fa me! Mus cry fa oonasef an fa oona chullun.

³⁰Een dat time, people gwine tell de mountain say, ‘Faddown pon we!’ An dey gwine tell de hill say, ‘Kiba we op!’

³¹Cause ef dey da do dis ting ta de green wood, fa sho dey gwine do wossa ting ta de dry wood, ainty?”

³²Wen de sodja dem tek Jedus an go fa kill um, dey tek two oda bad man fa kill wid Jedus too.
