Lamentations 1:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ The enemy grabbed all her treasures.
She watched nations enter her sanctuary—
nations that you, God,^[a] commanded: They must not enter your assembly.

¹¹ All her people are groaning, seeking bread.
They give up their most precious things for food to survive.
“Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised.”

¹² Is this nothing to all you who pass by?^[b]
Look around: Is there any suffering like the suffering inflicted on me,
the grief that the Lord caused on the day of his fierce anger?
