גָּלְתָ֨ה יְהוּדָ֤ה מֵעֹ֙נִי֙ וּמֵרֹ֣ב עֲבֹדָ֔ה הִ֚יא יָשְׁבָ֣ה בַגּוֹיִ֔ם לֹ֥א מָצְאָ֖ה מָנ֑וֹחַ כָּל־רֹדְפֶ֥יהָ הִשִּׂיג֖וּהָ בֵּ֥ין הַמְּצָרִֽים׃
galtah yhvdah meʿoniy vmerob ʿabodah hiyʾ yashbah bagvoyim loʾ maṣʾah manvoḥa kal-rodpeyha hishiygvha beyn hamṣariym
King James Version (KJV)

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

Modern English

Judah has gone into exile because of affliction and great servitude; she dwells among the nations but finds no resting place; all her pursuers overtook her in the midst of her distress.
