The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, they keep silence; They have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.

Οι πρεσβυτεροι της θυγατρος Σιων, καθηνται κατα γης, σιωπωντες· ανεβιβασαν χωμα επι την κεφαλην αυτων, εζωσθησαν σακκους· αι παρθενοι της Ιερουσαλημ κατεβιβασαν τας κεφαλας αυτων προς την γην.
