Lamentations 1:8 in Context — Lamentations 1
6 Partiu-se toda a beleza da filha de Sião; seus líderes estão como cervos, não acham pasto algum; eles andam fracos, fugindo do perseguidor.
7 Nos dias da sua aflição, e de suas andanças perdidas, Jerusalém lembra-se de todas as suas preciosidades, que tinha nos tempos antigos; quando seu povo caiu na mão do adversário, não houve quem a ajudasse; os adversários a viram, e zombaram da sua queda.
8 Jerusalém pecou gravemente; por isso ela se tornou impura; todos os que a honravam a desprezam, porque viram a sua nudez; ela geme, e se vira para trás.
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.
