12 “Is (A)it nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any [a]pain like my [b]pain
Which was severely dealt out to me,
Which the (B)Lord inflicted on the day of His (C)fierce anger.
13 “From on high He sent fire into my (D)bones,
And it [c]prevailed over them.
He has spread a (E)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (F)desolate,
[d]Faint all day long.
14 “The (G)yoke of my transgressions is bound;
By His hand they are knit together.
They have (H)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength [e]fail.
The Lord (I)has given me into the hands
Of those against whom I am not able to stand.
