She adid not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
For the enemy is exalted!”
Over all her1 pleasant things;
For she has seen athe nations enter her sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
bNot to enter Your assembly.
aThey1 seek bread;
They have given their1 valuables for food to restore life.
“See, O Lord, and consider,
For I am scorned.”
Behold and see
aIf there is any sorrow like my sorrow,
Which has been brought on me,
Which the Lord has inflicted
In the day of His fierce anger.
And it overpowered them;
He has aspread a net for my feet
And turned me back;
He has made me desolate
And faint all the day.
They were woven together by His hands,
And thrust upon my neck.
He made my strength fail;
The Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand.
