Lamentations 1:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Jerusalem sinned greatly,
    and she became unclean.^[a]
All who honored her now despise her,
    because they saw her naked.
She herself groans
    and turns her face away.

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^[b]
    enter her sanctuary;
those you forbade to enter
    your place of meeting.
