ח Cheth
8 Jerusalem has sinned grievously;
therefore, she has become an object of scorn.[a]
All who honoured her now despise her,
for they have seen her nakedness.
She herself groans and turns away.
ט Teth
9 Her uncleanness stains her skirts.(A)
She never considered her end.
Her downfall was astonishing;(B)
there was no one to comfort her.
Lord, look on my affliction,
for the enemy boasts.
י Yod
10 The adversary has seized
all her precious belongings.
She has even seen the nations
enter her sanctuary –
those you had forbidden
to enter your assembly.(C)

Lamentations 1:8-10
English Standard Version
8 (A)Jerusalem sinned grievously;
therefore she became filthy;
all who honored her despise her,
(B)for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself (C)groans
and turns her face away.
9 Her uncleanness was (D)in her skirts;
(E)she took no thought of her future;[a]
therefore her fall is terrible;
(F)she has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
for the enemy has (G)triumphed!”
10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
over all her (H)precious things;
for she has seen (I)the nations
enter her sanctuary,
those whom you (J)forbade
to enter your congregation.

Lamentations 1:8-10
King James Version
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O Lord, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
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.

Lamentations 1:8-10
New King James Version
8 (A)Jerusalem has sinned gravely,
Therefore she has become [a]vile.
All who honored her despise her
Because (B)they have seen her nakedness;
Yes, she sighs and turns away.
9 Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
She (C)did not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
For the enemy is exalted!”
10 The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her [b]pleasant things;
For she has seen (D)the nations enter her [c]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
(E)Not to enter Your assembly.
