Lamentations 1:9-11
New Century Version
9 She made herself dirty by her sins
and did not think about what would happen to her.
Her defeat was surprising,
and no one could comfort her.
She says, “Lord, see how I suffer,
because the enemy has won.”
10 The enemy reached out and took
all her precious things.
She even saw foreigners
enter her Temple.
The Lord had commanded foreigners
never to enter the meeting place of his people.
11 All of Jerusalem’s people groan,
looking for bread.
They are trading their precious things for food
so they can stay alive.
The city says, “Look, Lord, and see.
I am hated.”
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.”
