Lamentations 1:10-11
World English Bible
10 The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things;
for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary,
concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
11 All her people sigh.
They seek bread.
They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul.
“Look, Yahweh, and see;
for I have become despised.”
Lamentations 1:10-11
International Standard Version
10 The adversary seized in his hands
everything she valued.
She watched the nations[a]
enter her sanctuary;
those you forbade to enter
your place of meeting.
11 All her people groaned
as they searched for food.
They traded their valuables in order to eat,
to keep themselves alive.[b]
Look, Lord, and see
how I have become dishonored.
