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.

¹⁶ “For these things ^(A)I weep;
    my eyes flow with tears;
for ^(B)a comforter is far from me,
    one to ^(C)revive my spirit;
my children are desolate,
    for the enemy has prevailed.”

^17 (D)Zion stretches out her hands,
    but ^(E)there is none to comfort her;
the Lord has commanded against Jacob
    that his neighbors should be his foes;
Jerusalem has become
    a filthy thing among them.

^18 (F)“The Lord is in the right,
    ^(G)for I have rebelled against his word;
but hear, all you peoples,
    and see my suffering;
^(H)my young women and my young men
    have gone into captivity.

¹⁹ “I called to ^(I)my lovers,
    but they deceived me;
my priests and elders
    perished in the city,
while ^(J)they sought food
    to revive their strength.

²⁰ “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    ^(K)my stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
    because I have been very rebellious.
^(L)In the street the sword bereaves;
    in the house it is like death.
