Lamentations 1:10-11
English Standard Version
10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
over all her (A)precious things;
for she has seen (B)the nations
enter her sanctuary,
those whom you (C)forbade
to enter your congregation.
11 All her people (D)groan
as (E)they search for bread;
they trade their (F)treasures for (G)food
to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
for I am despised.”
Lamentations 1:10-11
Common English Bible
10 The enemy grabbed all her treasures.
She watched nations enter her sanctuary—
nations that you, God,[a] commanded: They must not enter your assembly.
11 All her people are groaning, seeking bread.
They give up their most precious things for food to survive.
“Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised.”
