Then because of our sins, the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, and in our sins the heichal was burned. In the city that was unified, eulogies were tied together, and the host of the heavens raised their voices in lamentation. Also, the tribes of Yaakov cried on high, the constellations shed tears. The flags of Yeshurun covered their heads [the constellations] Kimah and Orion darkened their faces. Our fathers pleaded, but it was like God didn't hear. The children cried out, but their Father didn't answer. And the voice of the turtledove cried out in bitterness, but the faithful shepherd didn't incline an ear. Holy seed wrapped themselves in sackcloth, and the host of the heavens donned sackcloth. The sun and the moon darkened, and the stars gathered in their light.
אָז בַּחֲטָאֵינוּ חָרַב מִקְדָּשׁ. וּבַעֲוֹנוֹתֵינוּ נִשְׂרַף הֵיכָל: בְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה לָּהּ קָשְׁרוּ מִסְפֵּד. וּצְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם נָשְׂאוּ קִינָה: גַּם בָּכוּ בַמָּרוֹם שִׁבְטֵי יַעֲקֹב. וְאַף מַזָּלוֹת יִזְּלוּ דִּמְעָה: דִּגְלֵי יְשֻׁרוּן חָפוּ רֹאשָׁם. כִּימָה וּכְסִיל קָדְרוּ פְנֵיהֶם: הֶעְתִּירוּ אָבוֹת וְאֵל כְּלֹא שׁוֹמֵעַ. צָעֲקוּ בָנִים וְלֹא עָנָם אָב: וְקוֹל הַתּוֹרָה צוֹעֵק בְּמָרָה. וְרוֹעֶה נֶאֱמָן לֹא הִטָּה אֹזֶן: זֶרַע קֹדֶשׁ חָגְרוּ שַׂקִּים. וּצְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם שַׂק הוּשַׁת כְּסוּתָם: חָשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ קָדַר. וְכוֹכָבִים אָסְפוּ נָגְהָם:
