Heth

Jerusalem sinned (A)greatly;
Therefore (B)she has become an impure thing.
All who honored her despise her
Because they have seen her nakedness;
Even (C)she herself sighs and turns away.

Teth

Her (D)uncleanness was in her skirts;
She did not remember her (E)future.
Therefore she has (F)gone down astonishingly;
(G)She has no comforter.
(H)See, O Yahweh, my affliction,
For the enemy has (I)magnified himself!”

Yodh

10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her desirable things,
For she has seen the (J)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they should (K)not enter into Your assembly.

Jerusalem has sinned(A) greatly
    and so has become unclean.(B)
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have all seen her naked;(C)
she herself groans(D)
    and turns away.

Her filthiness clung to her skirts;
    she did not consider her future.(E)
Her fall(F) was astounding;
    there was none to comfort(G) her.
“Look, Lord, on my affliction,(H)
    for the enemy has triumphed.”

10 The enemy laid hands
    on all her treasures;(I)
she saw pagan nations
    enter her sanctuary(J)
those you had forbidden(K)
    to enter your assembly.
