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

²⁰ See, O Yahweh, for I am in distress;
My ^[a](A)inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My heart is overturned within me,
For I have been very ^(B)rebellious.
In the street the sword bereaves;
In the house it is like death.

²¹ They have heard that I ^(C)am sighing;
There is no one to comfort me;
All my enemies have heard of the ^[b]evil done to me;
They ^(D)rejoice that You have done it.
You have brought the day which You have proclaimed,
So that they will become ^(E)like me.

²² Let all their evil come before You;
And ^(F)deal severely with them as You have dealt severely with me
For all my transgressions;
For my groans are great and my heart is faint.”

¹¹ My ^(A)eyes fail because of tears;
My ^[a](B)inmost being is greatly disturbed;
My ^[b](C)heart is poured out on the earth
^(D)Because of the ^[c]destruction of the daughter of my people,
When ^(E)infants and nursing babies faint
In the open squares of the city.

¹⁷ Because of this our ^(A)heart is faint;
Because of these things our ^(B)eyes are dim;
