12 Is it nothing to you, all who pass by?[a]
    Look and see
if there is sorrow like my sorrow,[b]
    which was dealt to me,
which Yahweh inflicted
    on the day of his wrath.[c]
13 From heaven he sent fire,
    into my bones he let it descend.
He spread out a net for my feet;
    he turned me back,
he gave me devastation,
    fainting all day.
14 My rebellion was bound as a yoke,
    with his hand it was fastened together;
it was put on my neck
    and caused my strength to fail.
The Lord gave me into the hands
    of those whom I cannot withstand.
