12 “Is it nothing to you, all (A)you who pass by?
    (B)Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which was brought upon me,
which (C)the Lord inflicted
    on (D)the day of his fierce anger.

13 “From on high he (E)sent fire;
    into my bones[a] he made it descend;
(F)he spread a net for my feet;
    he turned me back;
(G)he has left me stunned,
    faint all the day long.

14 “My transgressions were bound[b] into (H)a yoke;
    by his hand they were fastened together;
they were set upon my neck;
    he caused my strength to fail;
the Lord gave me into the hands
    of those whom I cannot withstand.
