Lamentations 1:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ The enemies robbed her of all her treasures.
    She saw them enter the Temple itself,
    Where the Lord had forbidden Gentiles to go.

¹¹ Her people groan as they look for something to eat;
    They exchange their treasures for food to keep themselves alive.
    “Look at me, Lord,” the city cries; “see me in my misery.”

¹² “Look at me!” she cries to everyone who passes by.^[a]
    “No one has ever had pain like mine,
    Pain that the Lord brought on me in the time of his anger.
