   • 16^th century [750–450 BCE], “לוּ לִיבֵירוֹ דֵי יִרְמִיַהוּ [Lu libero de Jirmiau, The Book of Jeremiah]”, in נְבִיאִים [Neviim, Prophets]‎^[1] (manuscript), translation of נְבִיאִים (Nəvīʔīm, “Prophets”) (in Biblical Hebrew), chapter 7, verse 26, page 3, lines 2–4:

     אֵי נוּן אִינְטֵיסֵירוֹ אַה מִי אֵי נוּן קְלֵינַארוֹ לַה רֵיקֵילַה לוּרַה אֵי אִינְדוּרִירוֹ לוּ צֵיפֵיצוֹ לוּרוֹ מַאלִינַארוֹ פְלוּ קֵי לִי פַאטֵירִי לוּרִי׃ (Judeo-Roman)

     /E nun intesero a mi, e nun clenaro la rechela lura, e induriro lu cepezzo luro; malinnaro plu che li pateri luri./

     And they did not listen to me, and did not pay attention, and became stiff-necked; they became worse than their fathers.

     (literally, “And [they] did not listen to me, and [they] did not incline the ear of theirs, and [they] hardened the neck of theirs; [they] worsened more than the fathers of theirs.”)
