2:1
Խորհեցա՛ն յանձինս իւրեանց զանուղղայս եւ ասեն. Սակա՛ւ եւ ցաւագին են կեանք մեր, եւ ո՛չ գոյ բժշկութիւն ՛ի վախճանի մարդոյ. եւ չերեւեցա՛ւ որ դարձաւ ՛ի դժոխոց[13]:

2:4
Եւ անունս մեր մոռասցի՛ ժամանակաւ. եւ ո՛չ ոք յիշատակեսցէ զգործս մեր: Անցցե՛ն կեանք մեր իբրեւ զհետս ամպոյ, եւ իբրեւ զշամանդա՛ղ ցրուեսցին հալածեալք ՛ի ճառագայթից արեգական, եւ ՛ի տապոյ նորա ծանրացեալք[16]:
2:4
