11 All her people sigh.
    They seek bread.
    They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh their soul.
“Look, Yahweh, and see,
    for I have become despised.”

12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
    Look, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
    which is brought on me,
    with which Yahweh has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

13 “From on high has he sent fire into my bones,
    and it prevails against them.
He has spread a net for my feet.
    He has turned me back.
    He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
