Lamentations 1:11-16
New Living Translation
11 Her people groan as they search for bread.
They have sold their treasures for food to stay alive.
“O Lord, look,” she mourns,
“and see how I am despised.
12 “Does it mean nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look around and see if there is any suffering like mine,
which the Lord brought on me
when he erupted in fierce anger.
13 “He has sent fire from heaven that burns in my bones.
He has placed a trap in my path and turned me back.
He has left me devastated,
racked with sickness all day long.
14 “He wove my sins into ropes
to hitch me to a yoke of captivity.
The Lord sapped my strength and turned me over to my enemies;
I am helpless in their hands.
15 “The Lord has treated my mighty men
with contempt.
At his command a great army has come
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled his beloved city[a]
like grapes are trampled in a winepress.
16 “For all these things I weep;
tears flow down my cheeks.
No one is here to comfort me;
any who might encourage me are far away.
My children have no future,
for the enemy has conquered us.”

Lamentations 1:11-16
New American Standard Bible
11 All her people groan, (A)seeking bread;
They have given their treasures for food
To (B)restore their [a]lives.
“See, Lord, and look,
For I am (C)despised.”
12 “Is it (D)nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any pain like my pain
Which was inflicted on me,
With which the (E)Lord tormented me on the day of His (F)fierce anger.
13 From [b]the height 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 wrongdoings is bound;
By His hand they are woven together.
They have (K)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength [d]fail.
The Lord (L)has handed me over
To those against whom I am not able to stand.
15 The (M)Lord has thrown away all my strong men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed [e]time against me
To crush 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)weep;
[f]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a (Q)comforter,
One to restore my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”
