Lamentations 1:9-11
International Standard Version
9 Uncleanness has soiled her skirts,
and she gave no thought to what would follow.
She fell in such a startling way,
with no one to comfort her.
Look, Lord, upon my affliction,
because my enemy is boasting.
10 The adversary seized in his hands
everything she valued.
She watched the nations[a]
enter her sanctuary;
those you forbade to enter
your place of meeting.
11 All her people groaned
as they searched for food.
They traded their valuables in order to eat,
to keep themselves alive.[b]
Look, Lord, and see
how I have become dishonored.

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.”
