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
International Standard Version
11 All her people groaned
as they searched for food.
They traded their valuables in order to eat,
to keep themselves alive.[a]
Look, Lord, and see
how I have become dishonored.
12 May it not befall you,[b]
all who pass along the road!
Look and see:
Is there any grief
like my grief
dealt out to me,
by which the Lord afflicted me
in the time of his fierce wrath?
13 He sent fire from on high,[c]
making it penetrate my bones.[d]
He stretched out a net at my feet,
forcing me to turn back.
He made me desolate;
I’m fainting all day long.
14 The yoke of my sins was bound on,[e]
fastened together by his hand.
They settled on my neck;
he caused my strength to fail.
The Lord placed me in the power
of those I cannot resist.
15 He rejected all the valiant men—
the Lord, in my midst.
He set a time to meet with me
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled, as in a winepress,
the fair virgin that is[f] Judah.
16 Because of all this, I weep;
my eyes[g] stream with tears
because far from me
is the comforter of my soul.
My children are sorrowful,
because the enemy has won.
