In the days of her affliction and homelessness
(A)Jerusalem remembers all her treasures
That were hers since the days of old,
When her people fell into the hand of the adversary
And (B)no one helped her.
The adversaries saw her,
They (C)laughed at her [a]ruin.

  1. Lamentations 1:7 Lit cessation

10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her precious things,
For she has seen the (A)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they were (B)not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan, (C)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (D)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (E)despised.”
