Yahweh, listen to what I am praying; hear me while I cry out to you!

Because you are very angry [DOU] with me, now [I sit in] ashes [while I am suffering greatly]; and those ashes [fall on] the bread/food that I eat, and what I drink has my tears mixed with it. [It is as though] you have picked me up and thrown me away!

[Some day] our children will live safely [in Jerusalem], and their descendants will be protected in your presence.”
