11 All her people sigh,
(A)They [a]seek bread;
They have given their [b]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”

12 Is it nothing to you, all you who [c]pass by?
Behold and see
(B)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.

13 “From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has (C)spread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.
