8. Jerusalem has sinned greatly,so she has been tossed away like a filthy rag.All who once honored her now despise her,for they have seen her stripped naked and humiliated.All she can do is groanand hide her face.
9. She defiled herself with immoralityand gave no thought to her future.Now she lies in the gutterwith no one to lift her out.“lord, see my misery,” she cries.“The enemy has triumphed.”
10. The enemy has plundered her completely,taking every precious thing she owns.She has seen foreigners violate her sacred Temple,the place the lord had forbidden them to enter.
