Lamentations 1:14-16
English Standard Version
14 “My transgressions were bound[a] into (A)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.
15 “The Lord rejected
all my mighty men in my midst;
he summoned an assembly against me
to crush my young men;
(B)the Lord has trodden as in a winepress
the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 “For these things (C)I weep;
my eyes flow with tears;
for (D)a comforter is far from me,
one to (E)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
for the enemy has prevailed.”
