Lamentations 1:8

Jerusalem has sinned greatly [literally "sins sins"; committed repeated transgressions, sinned more and more],
therefore she has become ritually unclean.
All who previously held her in honor,
now despise her when they see her nakedness.
She herself sighs (groans with sorrow and pain)
and turns away.
[The eighth Hebrew letter is: ח – chet. The character depicts a fence. The letter symbolizes something that binds and encloses, physically like a fence or a wall, or socially like friendship and love. This verse begins in Hebrew with the Hebrew word chata, which is repeated twice, first as a noun and then as a verb. Repetition is the Hebrew way of emphasizing an expression and is translated as "has sinned greatly." Here, it is made clear how abysmal these transgressions and sins are. It intensifies the suffering in grief. Her turning away becomes like marking a boundary where there are no walls or fences.]
