Lamentations 1:13-15
King James Version
13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

Lamentations 1:13-15
English Standard Version
13 “From on high he (A)sent fire;
into my bones[a] he made it descend;
(B)he spread a net for my feet;
he turned me back;
(C)he has left me stunned,
faint all the day long.
14 “My transgressions were bound[b] into (D)a yoke;
by his hand they were fastened together;
they were set upon my neck;
he caused my strength to fail;
the Lord gave me into the hands
of those whom I cannot withstand.
15 “The Lord rejected
all my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
to crush my young men;
(E)the Lord has trodden as in a winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
