9. Her uncleanness was easily seen, but she showed no concern for her fate.Her downfall was terrible; no one can comfort her.Her enemies have won, and she cries to the Lord for mercy.
10. Her enemies robbed her of all her treasures.She saw them enter the Temple itself,Where the Lord had forbidden Gentiles to go.
11. Her people groan as they look for something to eat;They exchange their treasures for food to keep themselves alive.“Look at me, Lord,” the city cries; “see me in my misery.”
12. “Look at me!” she cries to everyone who passes by.“No one has ever had pain like mine,Pain that the Lord brought on me in the time of his anger.
