14 “My transgressions were bound[a] into (A)a yoke;

  1. Lamentations 1:14 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

18 (A)“The Lord is in the right,
    (B)for I have rebelled against his word;
but hear, all you peoples,
    and see my suffering;
(C)my young women and my young men
    have gone into captivity.

19 “I called to (D)my lovers,
    but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
    perished in the city,
while (E)they sought food
    to revive their strength.

20 “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    (F)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
    because I have been very rebellious.
(G)In the street the sword bereaves;
    in the house it is like death.
