Lamentations 1:17

פ Pe
17 Zion stretches out her hands;
there is no one to comfort her.
The Lord has issued a decree against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his adversaries.
Jerusalem has become
something impure(A) among them.
Lamentations 1:17

17 Jerusalem reaches out for help,
but no one comforts her.
Regarding his people Israel,[a]
the Lord has said,
“Let their neighbors be their enemies!
Let them be thrown away like a filthy rag!”
