Lamentations 1:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ The enemy stretched out their hands
    to seize all her treasures.
She beheld the nations
    invade her sanctuary,
those whom you had forbidden
    to come into your assembly.
¹¹ All her people groan
    as they desperately search for bread.
They trade their treasures for food
    to keep themselves alive.
Look, O Lord, and see
    how worthless I have become.
¹² All of you who pass this way,
    look and see.
Is there any sorrow like the sorrow
    that has been inflicted upon me
which the Lord forced me to suffer
    on the day of his fierce anger?
