All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 1 of Lamentations. The call to passersby turns Jerusalem’s pain into a question addressed to the world. The city wants others to see its suffering and understand that it is not an ordinary affliction. The language of pain prepares the way for a theological reading of destruction from the perspective of the one experiencing it.
