Lamentations 1:10-11

New International Version

¹⁰The enemy laid hands
    on all her treasures;^(A)
she saw pagan nations
    enter her sanctuary^(B)—
those you had forbidden^(C)
    to enter your assembly.

¹¹All her people groan^(D)
    as they search for bread;^(E)
they barter their treasures for food
    to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Lord, and consider,
    for I am despised.”

Lamentations 1:10-11

New King James Version

¹⁰The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her ^[a]pleasant things;
For she has seen ^(A)the nations enter her ^[b]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
^(B)Not to enter Your assembly.

¹¹All her people sigh,
^(C)They ^[c]seek bread;
They have given their ^[d]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”
