Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
    therefore she has become vile.
All who honored her despise her,
    for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself sighs
    and turns away.

Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
    she took no thought of her future;
therefore her fall is astounding;
    she has no comforter.
“O Lord, look upon my affliction,
    for the enemy has triumphed!”

10 The adversary has spread his hand
    over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom You commanded
    not to enter Your congregation.

    there was none to comfort(G) her.

    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.
