Lamentations 1:13
v. 13: "From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day."Jerusalem recognizes that her suffering comes from the LORD Himself. The imagery is vivid: fire burns within her bones, a fever sent by God, consuming her strength. She is caught in a net of God’s making—every attempt to escape only entangles her further. Her path is blocked, her spirit exhausted, and she is left desolate. These are not random misfortunes, but afflictions directed by God’s righteous anger .
