Lamentations 1:10-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Enemies have stretched out their hands
over all her precious things;
she has even seen the nations
invade her sanctuary,
those whom you forbade
to enter your congregation.(A)
11 All her people groan
as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
to revive their lives.
Look, O Lord, and see
how worthless I have become.(B)
Lamentations 1:10-11
International Standard Version
10 The adversary seized in his hands
everything she valued.
She watched the nations[a]
enter her sanctuary;
those you forbade to enter
your place of meeting.
11 All her people groaned
as they searched for food.
They traded their valuables in order to eat,
to keep themselves alive.[b]
Look, Lord, and see
how I have become dishonored.
