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.”

  1. Lamentations 1:11 Lit soul

10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
    over all her (A)precious things;
for she has seen (B)the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom you (C)forbade
    to enter your congregation.

11 All her people (D)groan
    as (E)they search for bread;
they trade their (F)treasures for (G)food
    to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
    for I am despised.”
