Lamentations 1:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ The adversary seized in his hands
    everything she valued.
She watched the nations^[a]
    enter her sanctuary;
those you forbade to enter
    your place of meeting.

¹¹ All her people groaned
    as they searched for food.
They traded their valuables in order to eat,
    to keep themselves alive.^[b]
Look, Lord, and see
    how I have become dishonored.

¹² May it not befall you,^[c]
    all who pass along the road!
Look and see:
    Is there any grief
like my grief
    dealt out to me,
by which the Lord afflicted me
    in the time of his fierce wrath?
