11 All her people groan, (A)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (B)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (C)despised.”
12 Is it (D)nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any pain like my pain
Which was inflicted on me,
With which the (E)Lord tormented me on the day of His (F)fierce anger.
13 From [b]the height 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.
