Lamentations 1:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ The adversary has spread his hand
    over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom You commanded
    not to enter Your congregation.

¹¹ All her people groan,
    as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
    to restore their strength.
Look, O Lord, and consider,
    for I am despised.

¹² Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
    Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which was brought upon me,
which the Lord has inflicted
    on the day of His fierce anger.
