Lamentations 1:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ All her people are sighing as they search for bread.
    They traded their precious things for food in order to stay alive.
    Look, Lord, and see that I have become despised.
¹² But nothing like this is happening to you, all you who pass me by.^[a]
    Look and see if there is any pain like my pain, which was dealt out to me,
    which the Lord caused me to suffer on the day of his burning anger.
¹³ From on high he sent fire into my bones and overpowered^[b] me.
    He spread a net for my feet. He turned me back.
    He made me desolate. I was sick all day long.
