Lamentations 1:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 All her people sigh and seek their bread: they have given their pleasant things for meat to refresh the soul: see, O Lord, and consider: for I am become vile.
12 Have ye no regard, all ye that pass by this way? behold and see, if there be any [a]sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath.
13 From above hath [b]he sent fire into my bones, which prevail against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, and turned me back: he hath made me desolate, and daily in heaviness.
