“The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things;for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary,concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.”
Lamentations 1:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8Jerusalem has grievously sinned.Therefore she has become unclean.All who honored her despise her,because they have seen her nakedness.Yes, she sighs and turns backward. 9Her filthiness was in her skirts.She didn’t remember her latter end.Therefore she has come down astoundingly.She has no comforter.“See, Yahweh, my affliction;for the enemy has magnified himself.” 10The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things;for she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary,concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly. 11All her people sigh.They seek bread.They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul.“Look, Yahweh, and see,for I have become despised.” 12“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,which is brought on me,with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
