10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her precious things,
For she has seen the (A)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they were (B)not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan, (C)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (D)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (E)despised.”
12 Is it (F)nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any pain like my pain
Which was inflicted on me,
With which the (G)Lord tormented me on the day of His (H)fierce anger.
