Lamentations 1:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Is this nothing to all you who pass by?^[a]
Look around: Is there any suffering like the suffering inflicted on me,
the grief that the Lord caused on the day of his fierce anger?

¹³ From above he sent fire into my bones; he trampled them.
He spread a net for my feet; he forced me backward.
He left me devastated, constantly sick.

¹⁴ My steps^[b] are being watched;^[c] by his hand they are tripped up.
His yoke is on my neck; he makes my strength fail.
My Lord has handed me over to people I can’t resist.
