10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
    over all her precious things;
yea, she has seen the nations
    invade her sanctuary,
those whom thou didst forbid
    to enter thy congregation.

11 All her people groan
    as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
    to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and behold,
    for I am despised.”

Concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thine assembly.

They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul:
See, O Jehovah, and behold; for I am become abject.
