Lamentations 1:12-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

12. No passer-by even cares.Why doesn't someone noticemy terrible sufferings?You were fiercely angry, Lord,and you punished meworst of all.

13. From heaven you sent a firethat burnt in my bones;you set a trap for my feetand made me turn back.All day long you leave mein shock from constant pain.

14. You have tied my sinsaround my neck,and they weigh so heavilythat my strength is gone.You have put me in the powerof enemies too strong for me.

15. You, Lord, have turned backmy warriors and crushedmy young heroes.Judah was a woman untouched,but you let her be trampledlike grapes in a wine-pit.
