Jewish lament

"The heart of the children of the city failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them, so that all their vessels of water failed all the inhibitants,
[21] And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure."

choir
A great injury ye have done us
in that not required peace.

For now we have no helper: 
but God hath sold us into hands of enemy.

For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: 
for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, 
and not see the death of our infants before our eyes!
ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the enemies that compass us round about.
Ozias
Breathen! Be of good courage!
Let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; 
for he will not forsake us utterly.
And if these days pass and there come no help unto us, 
I will do according to your words! 
The Lord may turn his mercy against us.

A great injury ye have done us…
