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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”
