Lamentations 1:10-11
Modern English Version
10 The adversary has spread his hand
over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
enter her sanctuary,
those whom You commanded
not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan,
as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
to restore their strength.
Look, O Lord, and consider,
for I am despised.
Lamentations 1:10-11
New King James Version

Over all her [a]pleasant things;
For she has seen (A)the nations enter her [b]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
(B)Not to enter Your assembly.
11 All her people sigh,
(C)They [c]seek bread;
They have given their [d]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”
