1 Écoutez cette parole, Cette complainte que je prononce sur vous, Maison d’Israël!

2 Elle est tombée, elle ne se relèvera plus, La vierge d’Israël; Elle est couchée par terre, Nul ne la relève.

3 Car ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: La ville qui mettait en campagne mille hommes N’en conservera que cent, Et celle qui mettait en campagne cent hommes N’en conservera que dix, pour la maison d’Israël.
