* Therefore I will wail and howl , I will go stripped and naked ; I will make a wailing like the jackals And a mourning like the ostriches , * For her wounds are incurable . For it has come to Judah ; It has come to the gate of My people -- To Jerusalem . * Tell it not in Gath , Weep not at all ; In Beth Aphrah Roll yourself in the dust . * Pass by in naked shame , you inhabitant of Shaphir ; The inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out . Beth Ezel mourns ; Its place to stand is taken away from you . * For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good , But disaster came down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem . * O inhabitant of Lachish , Harness the chariot to the swift steeds (She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion ), For the transgressions of Israel were found in you . * Therefore you shall give presents to Moresheth Gath ; The houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel . * I will yet bring an heir to you , O inhabitant of Mareshah ; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam . * Make yourself bald and cut off your hair , Because of your precious children ; Enlarge your baldness like an eagle , For they shall go from you into captivity .
