Heth
“Jerusalem
Sinned grievously.
So she became
A mockery.
All who honored her
Now despise her.
They have seen
Her nakedness.
She herself groans.
She turns
Her face away.”
Clearly Jerusalem has sinned seriously. Jerusalem has become a mockery of itself. Those who once honored her, now despise her. They have seen her naked. She herself has groaned and turned her face away, since she has admitted her faults. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Heth. Each verse after this will use the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet in this acrostic poem.
