Lamentations 1:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
ל Lamed
12 Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by?(A)
Look and see!
Is there any pain like mine,
which was dealt out to me,
which the Lord made me suffer
on the day of his burning anger?(B)
מ Mem
13 He sent fire from on high(C) into my bones;
he made it descend.[a](D)
He spread a net for my feet(E)
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,
sick all day long.
נ Nun
14 My transgressions have been formed into a yoke,[b][c](F)
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.
Lamentations 1:12-14
New King James Version
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who [a]pass by?
Behold and see
(A)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.
13 “From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has (B)spread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.
14 “The(C) yoke of my transgressions was [b]bound;
They were woven together by His hands,
And thrust upon my neck.
He made my strength fail;
The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.
