Jerusalem has sinned so much that it has become a filthy thing.
    Everyone who used to honor it now despises it.
        They’ve seen it naked.
            Jerusalem groans and turns away.

    Its downfall was shocking.
        No one offers it comfort.
            ‘O Yahweh, look at my suffering,

        ‘O Lord, they are the same people
            you have forbidden to enter your congregation.’
