8 Jerusalem has sinned greatly; therefore, she’s become a joke.All who honored her now detest her, for they’ve seen her naked.Even she groans and turns away.
9 Her uncleanness shows on her clothing; she didn’t consider what would happen to her.She’s gone down shockingly; she has no comforter."Lord, look at my suffering—the enemy has definitely triumphed!"
10 The enemy grabbed all her treasures.She watched nations enter her sanctuary—nations that you, God, commanded: They must not enter your assembly.
11 All her people are groaning, seeking bread.They give up their most precious things for food to survive."Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised."
12 Is this nothing to all you who pass by?Look around: Is there any suffering like the suffering inflicted on me,the grief that the Lord caused on the day of his fierce anger?
13 From above he sent fire into my bones; he trampled them.He spread a net for my feet; he forced me backward.He left me devastated, constantly sick.
14 My steps are being watched; by his hand they are tripped up.His yoke is on my neck; he makes my strength fail.My Lord has handed me over to people I can’t resist.
