Lamentations 1:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Because Jerusalem had sinned so grievously,
    she was regarded as an object of defilement.
All those who honored her now despise her
    after having beheld her nakedness.
She herself groans in anguish
    and turns her face away.
⁹ Her filthiness befouled her skirts;
    she gave no thought to her future.
Her downfall was incredible,
    and there was no one to comfort her.
“O Lord, look at my affliction,
    for the enemy has triumphed.”
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.
