Her uncleanness was in her skirts.
        She did not consider her future.
Her demise was astonishing,
        there was no one to comfort her.
    Adonai, see my affliction,
        for the enemy has triumphed!”
10 The enemy has stretched his hand
        over all her treasures.
She even saw nations
        enter her sanctuary—
those You had commanded
        not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan,
        as they seek bread.
They traded their treasures for food
        to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Adonai, and see!
        For I have become despised!”
