Kaph

11 All her people are sighing, (A)seeking bread;
They have given their desirable things for food
To (B)restore their souls.
“See, O Yahweh, and look,
For I am (C)despised.”

Lamedh

12 “Is (D)it nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any [a]pain like my [b]pain
Which was dealt severely to me,
Which (E)Yahweh grieved me with on the day of His (F)burning anger.

Mem

13 From on high He sent fire into my (G)bones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a (H)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (I)desolate,
[c]Faint all day long.
