Lamentations 1:11 in Context — Lamentations 1
9 Sus inmundicias en sus faldas; no se acordó de su postrimería: por tanto ella ha descendido maravillosamente, no tiene consolador. Mira, oh Jehová, mi aflicción, porque el enemigo se ha engrandecido.
10 Extendió su mano el enemigo á todas sus cosas preciosas; y ella ha visto entrar en su santuario las gentes, de las cuales mandaste que no entrasen en tu congregación.
11 Todo su pueblo buscó su pan suspirando; dieron por la comida todas sus cosas preciosas, para entretener la vida. Mira, oh Jehová, y ve que estoy abatida.
12 ¿No os conmueve á cuantos pasáis por el camino? Mirad, y ved si hay dolor como mi dolor que me ha venido; porque Jehová me ha angustiado en el día de la ira de su furor.
13 Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: ha extendido red á mis pies, tornóme atrás, púsome asolada, y que siempre tenga dolor.
