For my people’s wound
    is too deep to heal.
It has reached into Judah,
    even to the gates of Jerusalem.

10 Don’t tell our enemies in Gath[a];
    don’t weep at all.
You people in Beth-leaphrah,[b]
    roll in the dust to show your despair.
11 You people in Shaphir,[c]
    go as captives into exile—naked and ashamed.
The people of Zaanan[d]
    dare not come outside their walls.
The people of Beth-ezel[e] mourn,
    for their house has no support.
