12 “Is it nothing to you,
        all you who pass by on the road?
        Look and see!
Is any suffering like my suffering
    that was brought on me,
        that Adonai has inflicted
    in the day of His fierce anger?
13 From on high He sent fire into my bones
    and it overcame them.
He spread out a net for my feet;
    He turned me back.
He made me desolate,
    faint all the day long.
14 My transgressions are bound into a yoke,
        woven together by His hand.
    They have come upon my neck
        and He has sapped my strength.
    The Lord delivered me over
    to those I cannot withstand.
