10 The enemy has stretched out his hand
    over all her treasures;
for she has seen the nations,
    they entered her sanctuary,
those whom you commanded not to enter
    in your assembly.

    they are searching for bread.
They give their treasures for food,
    to bring back life.

    how I am despised.
12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by?[a]
    Look and see
if there is sorrow like my sorrow,[b]
    which was dealt to me,
which Yahweh inflicted
    on the day of his wrath.[c]
