In Jewish tradition

In Psalms the word is a noun, meaning wretched people, perhaps worthless attackers; in Lamentations it means low and wretched.

Interpretation. Lamentations pictures Jerusalem as a humbled woman crying to God, and tradition reads it as the people's cry of grief over the destroyed city.

Examples

All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul. 'See, O LORD, and behold, how abject I am become.' (Writings LAM.1.11, JPS 1917) tree →
