Lamentations 1:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 Her sins had made her filthy,
but she wasn't worried
about what could happen.
And when Jerusalem fell,
it was so tragic.
No one gave her comfort
when she cried out,
“Help! I'm in trouble, Lord!
The enemy has won.”
10 Zion's treasures were stolen.
Jerusalem saw foreigners
enter her place of worship,
though the Lord
had forbidden them
to belong to his people.[a]
11 Everyone in the city groans
while searching for food;
they trade their valuables
for barely enough scraps
to stay alive.
Jerusalem Speaks:
Jerusalem shouts to the Lord,
“Please look and see
how miserable I am!”

- 1.10 to … people: Or “to enter his temple.”
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.”
