Lamentations 1:14-16
Christian Standard Bible

נ Nun

14 My transgressions have been formed into a yoke,[a][b](A)
fastened together by his hand;
they have been placed on my neck,
and the Lord has broken my strength.
He has handed me over
to those I cannot withstand.

ס Samek

15 The Lord has rejected(B)
all the mighty men within me.
He has summoned an army[c] against me
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah(C)
like grapes in a winepress.(D)

ע Ayin

16 I weep because of these things;
my eyes flow[d] with tears.(E)
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,(F)
no one to keep me alive.
My children are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.

New International Version

14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke[a];(A)
    by his hands they were woven together.
They have been hung on my neck,

He has given me into the hands(B)
    of those I cannot withstand.

    all the warriors in my midst;(C)

    to[b] crush my young men.(E)
In his winepress(F) the Lord has trampled(G)
    Virgin Daughter(H) Judah.

16 “This is why I weep
    and my eyes overflow with tears.(I)
No one is near to comfort(J) me,
    no one to restore my spirit.
My children are destitute
    because the enemy has prevailed.”(K)
