- Et dices ad eos verbum istud : Deducant oculi mei lacrimam per noctem et diem, et non taceant, quoniam contritione magna contrita est virgo filia populi mei, plaga pessima vehementer.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν λόγον τοῦτον Καταγάγετε ἐπ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν δάκρυα ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς καὶ μὴ διαλιπέτωσαν, ὅτι συντρίμματι συνετρίβη θυγάτηρ λαοῦ μου, καὶ πληγῇ ὀδυνηρᾷ σφόδρα.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Virgin. Though many were sinners, the Church had some just souls. (Worthington)
