הַכָּרַ֤ת פְּנֵי/הֶם֙ עָ֣נְתָה בָּ֔/ם וְ/חַטָּאתָ֛/ם כִּ/סְדֹ֥ם הִגִּ֖ידוּ לֹ֣א כִחֵ֑דוּ א֣וֹי לְ/נַפְשָׁ֔/ם כִּֽי גָמְל֥וּ לָ/הֶ֖ם רָעָֽה
English Translation
The acknowledgment of their faces answered them, and their sin was revealed like Sodom; they did not hide it. Woe to their souls, for they have dealt wickedly with them.
