Lamentations 1:14-16

Lexham English Bible

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.
¹⁵ The Lord has rejected
    all my mighty ones in my midst.
He called an assembly against me,
    to crush my young men;
like in a wine press,
    the Lord has trodden on
the virgin daughter of Judah.
¹⁶ For these things, I am weeping,
    my eyes flow with tears;^[a]
because a comforter is far from me,
    one to restore my life.
My sons are desolate
    because the enemy has prevailed.
