Transcription: I am the man who has seen affliction, this chapter begins, and that doleful sentence captures the entire book. Judah's king is now shackled and blinded, his princes slaughtered. Jerusalem, the capital city, the holy city, is no more. The poet writes this book in a state of dazed grief. He wanders the empty streets piled high with corpses and tries to make sense of a tragedy that defies all comprehension.
