Jeremiah pours out his feelings over the terrible effects of the 18 - month siege of Jerusalem and laments: “The punishment for the error of the daughter of my people also becomes greater than the punishment for the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, and to which no hands turned helpfully. ”
Jeremija apraksta, ko pusotru gadu ilgā aplenkuma laikā ir izcietuši Jeruzalemes iedzīvotāji, un atzīst: ” Manas tautas meitas noziegums ir lielāks nekā Sodomas grēki, kas tika sagrauta piepeši, nevienam pie tās nepieskaroties. ”
