Lamentations 1:10-11
Christian Standard Bible
י Yod
10 The adversary has seized
all her precious belongings.
She has even seen the nations
enter her sanctuary—
those you had forbidden
to enter your assembly.(A)
כ Kaph
11 All her people groan
while they search for bread.(B)
They have traded their precious belongings for food
in order to stay alive.(C)
Lord, look and see
how I have become despised.
Lamentations 1:10-11
New American Standard Bible
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.”
