10 The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her [a]pleasant things;
For she has seen (A)the nations enter her [b]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
(B)Not to enter Your assembly.

11 All her people sigh,
(C)They [c]seek bread;
They have given their [d]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”

12 Is it nothing to you, all you who [e]pass by?
Behold and see
(D)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.
