Lamentations 1:11-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
כ Kaf
11 All her people groan
while they search for bread.(A)
They have traded their precious belongings for food
in order to stay alive.(B)
Lord, look and see
how I have become despised.
ל Lamed
12 Is this nothing to you, all you who pass by?(C)
Look and see!
Is there any pain like mine,
which was dealt out to me,
which the Lord made me suffer
on the day of His burning anger?(D)
מ Mem
13 He sent fire from heaven(E) into my bones;
He made it descend.[a](F)
He spread a net for my feet(G)
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,
sick all day long.
נ Nun
14 My transgressions have been formed into a yoke,[b][c](H)
fastened together by His hand;
they have been placed on my neck,
and the Lord has broken my strength.
He has handed me over
to those I cannot withstand.
ס Samek
15 The Lord has rejected(I)
all the mighty men within me.
He has summoned an army[d] against me
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah(J)
like grapes in a winepress.(K)
ע Ayin
16 I weep because of these things;
my eyes flow[e] with tears.(L)
For there is no one nearby to comfort me,(M)
no one to keep me alive.
My children are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.

Lamentations 1:11-16
Lexham English Bible
11 All her people groan,
they are searching for bread.
They give their treasures for food,
to bring back life.
See, O Yahweh, and look,
how I am despised.
12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by?[a]
Look and see
if there is sorrow like my sorrow,[b]
which was dealt to me,
which Yahweh inflicted
on the day of his wrath.[c]
13 From heaven he sent fire,
into my bones he let it descend.
He spread out a net for my feet;
he turned me back,
he gave me devastation,
fainting all day.
14 My rebellion was bound as a yoke,
with his hand it was fastened together;
it was put on my neck
and caused my strength to fail.
The Lord gave me into the hands
of those whom I cannot withstand.
15 The Lord has rejected
all my mighty ones in my midst.
He called an assembly against me,
to crush my young men;
like in a wine press,
the Lord has trodden on
the virgin daughter of Judah.
16 For these things, I am weeping,
my eyes flow with tears;[d]
because a comforter is far from me,
one to restore my life.
My sons are desolate
because the enemy has prevailed.
