13 D’en haut il a lancé dans mes os un feu qui les dévore;
Il a tendu un filet sous mes pieds,
Il m’a fait tomber en arrière;
Il m’a jetée dans la désolation, dans une langueur de tous les jours.
14 Sa main a lié le joug de mes iniquités;
Elles se sont entrelacées, appliquées sur mon cou;
Il a brisé ma force;
Le Seigneur m’a livrée à des mains auxquelles je ne puis résister.
15 Le Seigneur a terrassé tous mes guerriers au milieu de moi;
Il a rassemblé contre moi une armée,
Pour détruire mes jeunes hommes;
Le Seigneur a foulé au pressoir la vierge, fille de Juda.

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

14 “The(B) yoke of my transgressions was [a]bound;
They were woven together by His hands,
And thrust upon my neck.
He made my strength fail;
The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.

15 “The Lord has trampled underfoot all my mighty men in my midst;
He has called an assembly against me
To crush my young men;
(C)The Lord trampled as in a winepress
The virgin daughter of Judah.
