Lamentations 1:9-11

New International Version

⁹ Her filthiness clung to her skirts;
    she did not consider her future.^(A)
Her fall^(B) was astounding;
    there was none to comfort^(C) her.
“Look, Lord, on my affliction,^(D)
    for the enemy has triumphed.”

¹⁰ The enemy laid hands
    on all her treasures;^(E)
she saw pagan nations
    enter her sanctuary^(F)—
those you had forbidden^(G)
    to enter your assembly.

¹¹ All her people groan^(H)
    as they search for bread;^(I)
they barter their treasures for food
    to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Lord, and consider,
    for I am despised.”
