(A)Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
Therefore she has become [a]vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because (B)they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.

Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
She (C)did not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
For the enemy is exalted!”

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