1God, why have you abandoned/rejected us? Will you keep rejecting us forever RHQ? Why are you angry with us, since we are like sheep in your pasture and you are like our shepherd? MET, RHQ
2Do not forget your people whom you chose long ago, the people whom you freed from being slaves in Egypt and caused to become your tribe. Do not forget Jerusalem, which was ◄your home/where you dwelt► on this earth.
3Walk along and see where everything has been totally ruined; our enemies have destroyed everything in the sacred temple.
4Your enemies shouted triumphantly in this sacred place; they erected their banners to show they had defeated us.
5They cut down all the engraved objects in the temple like woodsmen cut down trees.
6Then they smashed all the carved wood with their axes and hammers.
7Then they burned your temple to the ground; they caused that place where you were worshiped to be unfit for people to worship in.
8They said to themselves, “We will destroy the Israelis completely,” and they also burned down all the other places where we gathered to worship God.
9All our sacred symbols (OR, miracles) are gone; there are no prophets now/anymore, and no one knows how long this situation will continue.
10God, how long will our enemies make fun of you RHQ? Will they insult you MTY forever RHQ?
