8. Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore, she’s become a joke.All who honored her now detest her, for they’ve seen her naked.Even she groans and turns away.
9. Her uncleanness shows on her clothing; she didn’t consider what would happen to her.She’s gone down shockingly; she has no comforter."Lord, look at my suffering—the enemy has definitely triumphed!"
10. The enemy grabbed all her treasures.She watched nations enter her sanctuary—nations that you, God, 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?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?
