Lamentations 1:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ The yoke of my sins was bound on,^[a]
    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^[b] Judah.

¹⁶ Because of all this, I weep;
    my eyes^[c] stream with tears
because far from me
    is the comforter of my soul.
My children are sorrowful,
    because the enemy has won.
