Lamentations 1:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore, she’s become a joke.^[a]
All who honored her now detest her, for they’ve seen her naked.
Even she groans and turns away.

⁹ Her uncleanness shows on her clothing; she didn’t consider what would happen to her.
She’s gone down shockingly; she has no comforter.
“Lord, look at my suffering—the enemy has definitely triumphed!”

¹⁰ The enemy grabbed all her treasures.
She watched nations enter her sanctuary—
nations that you, God,^[b] commanded: They must not enter your assembly.
