Lamentations 1:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 From [a]the height He sent fire into my (A)bones,
And it dominated them.
He has spread a (B)net for my feet;
He has turned me back;
He has made me (C)desolate,
[b]Faint all day long.
14 The (D)yoke of my wrongdoings is bound;
By His hand they are woven together.
They have (E)come upon my neck;
He has made my strength [c]fail.
The Lord (F)has handed me over
To those against whom I am not able to stand.
15 The (G)Lord has thrown away all my strong men
In my midst;
He has called an appointed [d]time against me
To crush my (H)young men;
The Lord has (I)trodden as in a wine press
The virgin daughter of Judah.

Ekhah 1:13-15
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 From above hath He sent eish into my atzamot (bones), and it prevaileth against them; He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me back; He hath made me desolate and kol hayom (ever) languishing.
14 The yoke of my peysha’im hath been fastened by His hand; they [i.e., my sins] intertwine themselves and set upon my tzavar (neck); He hath made my strength to fall; Hashem hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 Hashem hath taken away all my strong ones in my midst; He hath proclaimed a mo’ed (set time) against me to crush my young men; Hashem hath trodden the winepress for the Betulat Bat Yehudah.
