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.”

Lamentations 1:11-16
Common English Bible
11 All her people are groaning, seeking bread.
They give up their most precious things for food to survive.
“Lord, look and take notice: I am most certainly despised.”
12 Is this nothing to all you who pass by?[a]
Look around: Is there any suffering like the suffering inflicted on me,
the grief that the Lord caused on the day of his fierce anger?
13 From above he sent fire into my bones; he trampled them.
He spread a net for my feet; he forced me backward.
He left me devastated, constantly sick.
14 My steps[b] are being watched;[c] by his hand they are tripped up.
His yoke is on my neck; he makes my strength fail.
My Lord has handed me over to people I can’t resist.
15 My Lord has despised my mighty warriors.
He called a feast for me—in order to crush my young men!
My Lord has stomped on the winepress of the young woman Daughter Judah.
16 Because of all these things I’m crying. My eyes, my own eyes pour water
because a comforter who might encourage me is nowhere near.
My children are destroyed because the enemy was so strong.
