et dixi regi: Rex, in æternum vive: quare non mœreat vultus meus, quia civitas domus sepulchrorum patris mei deserta est, et portæ ejus combustæ sunt igni?
And I said to the king: O king, live for ever: why should not my countenance be sorrowful, seeing the city of the place of the sepulchres of my fathers is desolate, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire?
Et dic ad rege: rege, in aeterno vive: quare non vultu meo moere, quia civitate domo de sepulchros de patre meo desere es, et portas de illo combure es igni?
