Lamentations 1:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 The enemy hath stretched out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen the heathen enter into her Sanctuary, whom [a]thou didst command, that they should not enter into thy Church.
11 All her people sigh and seek their bread: they have given their pleasant things for meat to refresh the soul: see, O Lord, and consider: for I am become vile.
12 Have ye no regard, all ye that pass by this way? behold and see, if there be any [b]sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath.
