all her precious belongings.

enter her sanctuary—
those You had forbidden
to enter Your assembly.(A)
כ Kaf
11 All her people groan
while they search for bread.(B)
They have traded their precious belongings for food
in order to stay alive.(C)
Lord, look and see
how I have become despised.
ל Lamed
12 Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by?(D)
Look and see!
Is there any pain like mine,
which was dealt out to me,
which the Lord made me suffer
on the day of His burning anger?(E)

Lamentations 1:10-12
King James Version
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O Lord, and consider; for I am become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

10 The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her [a]pleasant things;
For she has seen (A)the nations enter her [b]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
(B)Not to enter Your assembly.
11 All her people sigh,
(C)They [c]seek bread;
They have given their [d]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”

Behold and see
(D)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.
