Lamentations 1:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ Her honor is gone; she is naked and held in contempt.
    She groans and hides her face in shame.
    Jerusalem made herself filthy with terrible sin.

⁹ Her uncleanness was easily seen, but she showed no concern for her fate.
    Her downfall was terrible; no one can comfort her.
    Her enemies have won, and she cries to the Lord for mercy.

¹⁰ The enemies robbed her of all her treasures.
    She saw them enter the Temple itself,
    Where the Lord had forbidden Gentiles to go.
