9. Her menstrual flow has soiled her clothing;she did not consider the consequences of her sin.Her demise was astonishing,and there was no one to comfort her.She cried, “Look, O Lord, on my affliction because my enemy boasts!”י (Yod)
10. An enemy grabbed all her valuables. Indeed she watched in horror as Gentiles invaded her holy temple – those whom you had commanded: “They must not enter your assembly place.”כ (Kaf)
11. All her people groanedas they searched for a morsel of bread.They exchanged their valuablesfor just enough food to stay alive.“Look, O Lord! Considerthat I have become worthless!”ל (Lamed)
12. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by on the road?Look and see!Is there any pain like mine?The Lord has afflicted me,he has inflicted it on me when he burned with anger.מ (Mem)
