Her uncleanness was (A)in her skirts;
    (B)she took no thought of her future;[a]
therefore her fall is terrible;
    (C)she has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
    for the enemy has (D)triumphed!”

10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
    over all her (E)precious things;
for she has seen (F)the nations
    enter her sanctuary,
those whom you (G)forbade
    to enter your congregation.

11 All her people (H)groan
    as (I)they search for bread;
they trade their (J)treasures for (K)food
    to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
    for I am despised.”
