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.”

10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her precious things,
For she has seen the (A)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they were (B)not to enter Your congregation.
11 All her people groan, (C)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (D)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (E)despised.”
