Beth
“The precious children
Of Zion!
They are worth
Their weight
In fine gold!
How they are reckoned
As earthen pots!
They are the work
Of a potter’s hands!”
This author turns to the precious children of Zion, who are worth their weight in gold. They are the earthen jugs of the potter who made them. Thus the God made children of Jerusalem are worth more than gold. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Beth in this acrostic poem.
