7 Gerusalemme, a’ dì della sua afflizione, e de’ suoi esilii, Si è ricordata di tutte le sue care cose ch’erano state ab antico; Allora che il suo popolo cadeva per la mano del nemico, Senza che alcuno la soccorresse; I nemici l’hanno veduta, e si son beffati delle sue desolazioni.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
