Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

The verse 19 is found in chapter 31 of Jeremiah. Rachel’s weeping becomes an image of the tragedy of exile, but God announces that her children will return. Ephraim confesses his guilt and receives compassion. The phrase about a woman surrounding a man introduces an enigmatic image of renewal and expectation within a section focused on return and reconciliation.

Da ich bekehrt ward, tat ich Buße; denn nachdem ich gewitzigt bin, schlage ich mich auf die Hüfte. Ich bin zu Schanden geworden und stehe schamrot; denn ich muß leiden den Hohn meiner Jugend."
Porque después que me convertí, tuve arrepentimiento, y después que me conocí, herí el muslo: avergonceme, y confundime, porque llevé la afrenta de mis mocedades.
Après m'être détourné, j'éprouve du repentir; Et après avoir reconnu mes fautes, je frappe sur ma cuisse; Je suis honteux et confus, Car je porte l'opprobre de ma jeunesse. -
Perciocchè, dopo che sarò stato convertito, io mi pentirò; e dopo che sarò stato ammaestrato a riconoscermi, mi percoterò in su la coscia. Io son confuso, ed anche svergognato; perciocchè io porto il vituperio della mia giovanezza.
Na verdade que, depois que me converti, tive arrependimento; e depois que fui instruído, bati na minha coxa; fiquei confuso, e também me envergonhei; porque suportei o opróbrio da minha mocidade.
我背離以後就懊悔, 受教以後就捶胸 ; 我因擔當年輕時的凌辱就抱愧蒙羞。』
