Lamentations 1:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
    therefore she has become vile.
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself sighs
    and turns away.

⁹ Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
    she took no thought of her future;
therefore her fall is astounding;
    she has no comforter.
“O Lord, look upon my affliction,
    for the enemy has triumphed!”

¹⁰ The adversary has spread his hand
    over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom You commanded
    not to enter Your congregation.
