All her people groan, ^(C1)seeking bread; They have given their treasures for food To ^(C2)restore their ^(F1)lives. "See, LORD, and look, For I am ^(C3)despised."

"Is it ^(C1)nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any pain like my pain Which was inflicted on me, With which the ^(C2)LORD tormented me on the day of His ^(C3)fierce anger.

-"From ^(F1)the height He sent fire into my ^(C1)bones, And it dominated them. He has spread a ^(C2)net for my feet; He has turned me back; He has made me ^(C3)desolate, ^(F2)Faint all day long.

-"The ^(C1)yoke of my wrongdoings is bound; By His hand they are woven together. They have ^(C2)come upon my neck; He has made my strength ^(F1)fail. The Lord ^(C3)has handed me over To those against whom I am not able to stand.

-"The ^(C1)Lord has thrown away all my strong men In my midst; He has called an appointed ^(F1)time against me To crush my ^(C2)young men; The Lord has ^(C3)trodden as in a wine press The virgin daughter of Judah.

-"For these things I ^(C1)weep; ^(F1)My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a ^(C2)comforter, One to restore my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed."
