Lamentations 1:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ All of ·Jerusalem’s [^Lits] people groan,
    ·looking for [seeking] bread.
They ·are trading [^Lgive] their ·precious [desired; coveted] things for food
    so they can stay alive.
The city says, “Look, Lord, and see.
    I am ·hated [despised].”

¹² Jerusalem says, “You who pass by on the road ·don’t seem to care [is it nothing to you…?; ^LNo, to you].
    Come, look at me and see:
Is there any ·pain [sorrow] like ·mine [^Lmy pain/sorrow]?
    ·Is there any pain like that he has caused me […which has come upon me]?
The Lord has ·punished [afflicted; tormented] me
    on the day of his great anger.

¹³ “He sent fire from above
    that went ·down [deep] into my bones.
He ·stretched [spread] out a net for my feet
    and turned me back.
He made me so ·sad and lonely [desolate]
    that I am ·weak [faint; sick] all day.
