Lamentations 1:10-11
Expanded Bible
10 The ·enemy [foe] ·reached out and took [spread his hands on]
all her ·precious [desired; coveted] things.
She even saw ·foreigners [nations]
enter her ·Temple [L holy place; Ps. 74:4–8].
·The Lord had commanded foreigners [L …those you commanded]
never to enter the meeting place of ·his [L your] people.
11 All of ·Jerusalem’s [L its] people groan,
·looking for [seeking] bread.
They ·are trading [L give] their ·precious [desired; coveted] things for food
so they can stay alive.
The city says, “Look, Lord, and see.
I am ·hated [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.”
