Lamentations 1:11-16
New King James Version
11 All her people sigh,
(A)They [a]seek bread;
They have given their [b]valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who [c]pass by?
Behold and see
(B)If there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.
13 “From above He has sent fire into my bones,
And it overpowered them;
He has (C)spread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.
14 “The(D) yoke of my transgressions was [d]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;
(E)The Lord trampled as in a winepress
The virgin daughter of Judah.
16 “For these things I weep;
My eye, (F)my eye overflows with water;
Because the comforter, who should restore my life,
Is far from me.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy 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.
