Lamentations 1:9-11
New International Reader's Version
9 Her skirts are dirty.
She didn’t think about how things might turn out.
Her fall from power amazed everyone.
And no one was there to comfort her.
She said, “Lord, please pay attention to how much I’m suffering.
My enemies have won the battle over me.”
10 Jerusalem’s enemies took away
all her treasures.
Her people saw outsiders
enter her temple.
The Lord had commanded them
not to do that.
11 All Jerusalem’s people groan
as they search for bread.
They trade their treasures for food
just to stay alive.
Jerusalem says, “Lord, look at me.
Think about my condition.
Everyone looks down on me.”
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.”
