פ (Pe)
1:17 Zion spread out her hands,
but there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has issued a decree against Jacob;
his neighbors
Jerusalem has become
like filthy garbage
ג (Gimel)
2:3 In fierce anger
the whole army
He withdrew his right hand
as the enemy attacked.
He was like a raging fire in the land of Jacob;
it consumed everything around it.
ב (Bet)
2:2 The Lord
all the homes of Jacob’s descendants.
In his anger he tore down
the fortified cities
He knocked to the ground and humiliated
the kingdom and its rulers.
