Lamentations 1:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ The ·enemy [foe] ·reached out and took [spread his hands on]
    all her ·precious [desired; coveted] things.
She even saw ·foreigners [nations]
    enter her ·Temple [^Lholy place; Ps. 74:4–8].
·The Lord had commanded foreigners [^L…those you commanded]
    never to enter the meeting place of ·his [^Lyour] people.

¹¹ All of ·Jerusalem’s [^Lits] people groan,
    ·looking for [seeking] bread.
They ·are trading [^Lgive] their ·precious [desired; coveted] things for food
    so they can stay alive.
The city says, “Look, Lord, and see.
    I am ·hated [despised].”

¹² Jerusalem says, “You who pass by on the road ·don’t seem to care [is it nothing to you…?; ^LNo, to you].
    Come, look at me and see:
Is there any ·pain [sorrow] like ·mine [^Lmy pain/sorrow]?
    ·Is there any pain like that he has caused me […which has come upon me]?
The Lord has ·punished [afflicted; tormented] me
    on the day of his great anger.
