Lamentations 1:12-17
12“Is 1it nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any 2pain like my 3pain Which was severely dealt out to me, Which the 4Lord inflicted on the day of His 5fierce anger.13From on high He sent fire into my 6bones, And it 7prevailed over them. He has spread a 8net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me 9desolate, 10Faint all day long.14The 11yoke of my transgressions is bound; By His hand they are knit together. They have 12come upon my neck; He has made my strength 13fail. The Lord 14has given me into the hands Of those against whom I am not able to stand.15The 15Lord has rejected all my strong men In my midst; He has called an appointed 16time against me To crush my 17young men; The Lord has 18trodden as in a wine press The virgin daughter of Judah.16For these things I 19weep; 20My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a 21comforter, One who restores my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed.”17Zion 22stretches out her hands; There is no one to comfort her; The Lord has 23commanded concerning Jacob That the ones round about him should be his adversaries; 24Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
