Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 1 of Lamentations. Jerusalem remembers its former glory precisely as it looks upon its present humiliation. Former possessions and celebrations contrast with its current condition. The confession of sin is linked to public shame, showing how memory can become both testimony to what has been lost and recognition of guilt.
