Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

Let the war-carriage be yoked to the quick-running horse, you who are living in Lachish: she was the first cause of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the wrongdoings of Israel were seen in you.

Κατοικε της Λαχεις, ζευξον την αμαξαν εις τον ταχυν ιππον· συ, η αρχη της αμαρτιας εις την θυγατερα της Σιων· διοτι αι ασεβειαι του Ισραηλ εν σοι ευρεθησαν.

O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
