Lamentations 1:11-13
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 All her people groan
as they search for bread;
they trade their treasures for food
to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and behold,
for I am despised.”
12 “Is it nothing to you,[a] all you who pass by?
Look and see
if there is any sorrow like my sorrow
which was brought upon me,
which the Lord inflicted
on the day of his fierce anger.
13 “From on high he sent fire;
into my bones[b] he made it descend;
he spread a net for my feet;
he turned me back;
he has left me stunned,
faint all the day long.
