Lamentations 1:11 in Context — Lamentations 1

9 Sua imundície estava até nas roupas; nunca se importou com o seu futuro ; por isso caiu espantosamente, sem ter quem a consolasse. Olha, SENHOR, a minha aflição, porque o inimigo está engrandecido.

10 O adversário tomou todas as suas coisas de valor; ela viu as nações entrarem no seu templo - aquelas que proibiste de entrarem na tua congregação.

11 Todo o seu povo anda suspirando em busca de pão; trocaram todas os seus bens por comida a fim de sobreviverem. Olha, SENHOR, e vê que estou desprezada.

12 Todos vós que estais passando, não vos [importais] ? Olhai, e vede se há dor como a minha, que me foi imposta, que o SENHOR me afligiu no dia da sua ira ardente.

13 Desde o alto ele enviou fogo em meus ossos, o qual os dominou; ele estendeu uma rede a meus pés, fez-me voltar para trás; tornou-me assolada, sofrendo dores o dia todo.
