Lamentations 1:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Jerusalem has sinned terribly, so she is unclean.^[a]
    All who once honored her now despise her, because they have seen her nakedness.
    She can only sigh and turn away.
⁹ Her flow of blood stains her skirt. She did not consider the outcome of her sin.
    Her collapse was astonishing. There was no one to comfort her.
    Look, Lord, at my affliction, for the enemy has done awful things.
¹⁰ The foe has laid hands on all her precious things.
    She has even seen nations enter her sanctuary,
    nations about whom you commanded, “They shall not enter your assembly.”
