Lamentations 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Have ye no regard, all ye that pass by this way? behold and see, if there be any [a]sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath.
13 From above hath [b]he sent fire into my bones, which prevail against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, and turned me back: he hath made me desolate, and daily in heaviness.
14 The [c]yoke of my transgressions is bound upon his hand: they are wrapped, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall: the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, neither am I able to rise up.
