Lamentations 1:8

חֵ֣טְא חָטְאָ֤ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ עַל־כֵּ֣ן לְנִידָ֣ה הָ֔יְתָה כָּל־מְכַבְּדֶ֖יהָ הִזִּיל֑וּהָ כִּֽי־רָא֣וּ עֶרְוָתָ֔הּ גַּם־הִ֖יא נֶאֶנְחָ֑ה וַתָּ֖שָׁב אָחֽוֹר׃
ḥeṭʾ ḥaṭʾah yrvshaliam ʿal-ken lniydah haytah kal-mkabdeyha hiziylvha kiy-raʾv ʿervatah gam-hiyʾ neʾenḥah vatashab ʾaḥvor
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Jerusalem sinned grievously; therefore she has become filthy; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; even she herself groans and turns her face away.
