Jerusalem sinned ^(C1)greatly, Therefore ^(C2)she has become an ^(F1)object of ridicule. All who honored her despise her Because they have seen her nakedness; Even ^(C3)she herself groans and turns away.

Her ^(C1)uncleanness was in her garment's seams; She ^(F1)did not think of her ^(C2)future. So she has ^(F2)(C3)fallen in an astonishing way; ^(C4)She has no comforter. "^(C5)See, LORD, my affliction, For the enemy has ^(F3)(C6)honored himself!"

The adversary has stretched out his hand Over all her precious things, For she has seen the ^(C1)nations enter her sanctuary, The ones whom You commanded That they were ^(C2)not to enter Your congregation.

All her people groan, ^(C1)seeking bread; They have given their treasures for food To ^(C2)restore their ^(F1)lives. "See, LORD, and look, For I am ^(C3)despised."
