Lamentations 1:11-16
Legacy Standard Bible
Kaph
11 All her people are sighing, (A)seeking bread;
They have given their desirable things for food
To (B)restore their souls.
“See, O Yahweh, and look,
For I am (C)despised.”
Lamedh
12 “Is (D)it nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any [a]pain like my [b]pain
Which was dealt severely to me,
Which (E)Yahweh grieved me with on the day of His (F)burning anger.
Mem
13 From on high He sent fire into my (G)bones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a (H)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (I)desolate,
[c]Faint all day long.
Nun
14 The (J)yoke of my transgressions is bound;
By His hand they are knit together.
They have (K)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength stumble.
The Lord (L)has given me into the hands
Of those against whom I am not able to stand.
Samekh
15 The (M)Lord has rejected all my mighty men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed time against me
To break my (N)young men;
The Lord has (O)trodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.
Ayin
16 For these things I (P)am weeping;
[d]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a (Q)comforter,
One who restores my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”

Lamentations 1:11-16
New International Version
11 All her people groan(A)
as they search for bread;(B)
they barter their treasures for food
to keep themselves alive.
“Look, Lord, and consider,
for I am despised.”
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?(C)
Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering(D)
that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
in the day of his fierce anger?(E)
13 “From on high he sent fire,
sent it down into my bones.(F)
He spread a net(G) for my feet
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,(H)
faint(I) all the day long.
14 “My sins have been bound into a yoke[a];(J)
by his hands they were woven together.
They have been hung on my neck,
and the Lord has sapped my strength.
He has given me into the hands(K)
of those I cannot withstand.
