Lamentations 1:12-17

12 “Is it nothing to you, all ^ayou who pass by?
^bLook and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
which was brought upon me,
which ^cthe Lord inflicted
on ^dthe day of his fierce anger.
13 “From on high he ^esent fire;
into my bones ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew bones and} he made it descend;
^ghe spread a net for my feet;
he turned me back;
^hhe has left me stunned,
faint all the day long.
14 “My transgressions were bound ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} into ^ja yoke;
by his hand they were fastened together;
they were set upon my neck;
he caused my strength to fail;
the Lord gave me into the hands
of those whom I cannot withstand.
15 “The Lord rejected
all my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
to crush my young men;
^kthe Lord has trodden as in a winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 “For these things ^lI weep;
my eyes flow with tears;
for ^ma comforter is far from me,
one to ⁿrevive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
for the enemy has prevailed.”
17 ^oZion stretches out her hands,
but ^pthere is none to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
a filthy thing among them.
