Lamentations 1:12-17
12Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 by?Behold, and seeH7200 if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is brought upon me,Wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted me in the dayH3117 of his fierce angerH639.13From on highH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevaileth against them;He hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH7725:He hath madeH5414 me desolateH8076 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.14The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is bound by his handH3027;They are knit together, they are comeH5927 up upon my neckH6677; he hath madeH5414 my strengthH3581 to fail:The LordH136 hath delivered me into their handsH3027, against whom I am not ableH3201 to standH6965.15The LordH136 hath set at nought all my mightyH47 menH970 in the midstH7130 of me;He hath calledH7121 a solemn assembly against me to crush my youngH970 menH970:The LordH136 hath troddenH1869 as in a winepress the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of JudahH3063.16For these thingsH428 I weepH1058; mine eyeH5869, mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with waterH4325;Because the comforterH5162 that should refresh my soulH5315 is farH7368 from me:My children are desolateH8074, because the enemyH341 hath prevailedH1396.17ZionH6726 spreadeth forth her handsH3027; there is none to comfortH5162 her;Jehovah hath commandedH6680 concerning JacobH3290, that they that are roundH5439 about him should beH1961 his adversaries:JerusalemH3389 is among them as an unclean thingH5079.
