51 We are ashamed,
    for we have heard taunts,[a]
disgrace covers our faces,
    for strangers have come to the holy places of the house of Yahweh.

    and the fatally wounded will sigh through all her land.

    and though she fortifies the high place of her strength,
    from me destroyers will come to her,” declares[d] Yahweh.
