ל Lamedh
12 “Is ait nothing to all you who pass this way?
Look and see if there is any pain like my pain
Which was dealt severely to me,
Which bYahweh grieved me with on the day of His cburning anger.
מ Mem
13 From on high He sent fire into my abones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a bnet for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me cdesolate,
Faint all day long.
נ Nun
14 The ayoke of my transgressions is bound;
By His hand they are knit together.
They have bcome upon my neck;
He has made my strength stumble.
The Lord chas given me into the hands
Of those against whom I am not able to stand.
ס Samekh
15 The aLord has rejected all my mighty men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed time against me
To break my byoung men;
The Lord has ctrodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.
ע Ayin
16 For these things I aam weeping;
My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a bcomforter,
One who restores my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”
פ Pe
17 Zion astretches out her hands;
There is no one to comfort her;
Yahweh has bcommanded concerning Jacob
That the ones round about him should be his adversaries;
cJerusalem has become an impure thing among them.
