The 2 added verses at the end of Thursday Lectio III are:

Latin text 1:15 SAMECH. Abstulit omnes magnificos meos Dominus de medio mei; vocavit adversum me tempus ut conteret electos meos. Torcular calcavit Dominus virgini, filiae Juda. 1:16 AIN. Idcirco ego plorans, et oculus meus deducens aquas, quia longe factus est a me consolator, convertens animam meam. Facti sunt filii mei perditi, quoniam invaluit inimicus.

English translation SAMECH. “The Lord flouted all my mighty men in the midst of me; he summoned an assembly against me to crush my young men; the Lord has trodden as in a wine press the virgin daughter of Judah. AIN. “For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears; for a comforter is far from me, one to revive my courage; my children are desolate, for the enemy has prevailed.”

The added verses for Friday are:

Latin text 2:16  Phe. Aperuerunt super te os suum omnes inimici tui: sibilaverunt, et fremuerunt dentibus, et dixerunt: Devorabimus: en ista est dies quam exspectabamus; invenimus, vidimus. 2:17  Ain. Fecit Dominus quæ cogitavit; complevit sermonem suum, quem præceperat a diebus antiquis: destruxit, et non pepercit, et lætificavit super te inimicum, et exaltavit cornu hostium tuorum. 2:18  Sade. Clamavit cor eorum ad Dominum super muros filiæ Sion: Deduc quasi torrentem lacrimas per diem et noctem; non des requiem tibi, neque taceat pupilla oculi tui.

English translation 2:16  All your enemies rail against you; they hiss, they gnash their teeth, they cry: "We have destroyed her! Ah, this is the day we longed for; now we have it; we see it!" 2:17  The Lord has done what he purposed, has carried out his threat; as he ordained long ago, he has demolished without pity; he has made the enemy rejoice over you, and exalted the might of your foes. 2:18  Cry aloud to the Lord! O daughter of Zion! Let tears stream down like a torrent day and night! Give yourself no rest, your eyes no respite!

Latin text 3:10  Daleth. Ursus insidians factus est mihi, leo in absconditis. 3:11  Daleth. Semitas meas subvertit, et confregit me; posuit me desolatam. 3:12  Daleth. Tetendit arcum suum, et posuit me quasi signum ad sagittam.

English translation 3:10  He is to me like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding; 3:11  He led me off my way and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate; 3:12  he bent his bow and set me as a mark for his arrow.
