Lamentations 1:8 in Context — Lamentations 1
6 Fuése de la hija de Sión toda su hermosura: sus príncipes fueron como ciervos que no hallan pasto, y anduvieron sin fortaleza delante del perseguidor.
7 Jerusalem, cuando cayó su pueblo en mano del enemigo y no hubo quien le ayudase, se acordó de los días de su aflicción, y de sus rebeliones, y de todas sus cosas deseables que tuvo desde los tiempos antiguos: miráronla los enemigos, y escarnecieron de sus sábados.
8 Pecado cometió Jerusalem; por lo cual ella ha sido removida: todos los que la honraban la han menospreciado, porque vieron su vergüenza; y ella suspira, y se vuelve atrás.
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.
