Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
The city of Jerusalem is spoken of as if it were a woman. In Lamentations, Zion and Jerusalem are names used to refer to the same city.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) Jerusalem sinned greatly, therefore, she has become scorned as something that is filthy
(Some words not found in UHB: sin she_sinned Yerushalayim on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so as,unclean become all/each/any/every honored,her despise,her that/for/because/then/when seen nakedness,her also/yet she/it groans and,turns away )
This speaks of Jerusalem being scorned in the same way that a woman is scorned when she is unclean. According to the law of Moses, a woman was considered unclean during her monthly bleeding. Alternate translation: “Jerusalem’s sins have made her filthy and unclean, and therefore she was unacceptable before God”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
