13He has sent fire from his lofty habitation, He has brought it into my bones: He has spread a net for my feet, He has turned me back: He has made me desolate And mourning all the day.
14He has watched over my sins, They are twined about my hands, They have come up on my neck: My strength has failed; For the Lord has laid pains on my hands, I shall not be able to stand.
— Lamentations 1:15 —
16Mine eye has poured out water, Because he that should comfort me, That should restore my soul, Has been removed far from me: My sons have been destroyed, Because the enemy has prevailed.
17Zion has spread out her hand, And there is none to comfort her: The Lord has commanded concerning Jacob, His oppressors are round about him: Jerusalem has become among them as a removed woman.
