Lamentations 1:11-16

כ Kaph

11All her people are sighing, aseeking bread;They have given their desirable things for foodTo brestore their souls.“See, O Yahweh, and look,For I am cdespised.”

ל Lamedh

12“Is ait nothing to all you who pass this way?Look and see if there is any 1pain like my 2painWhich 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,1Faint 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 handsOf those against whom I am not able to stand.

ס Samekh

15“The aLord has rejected all my mighty menIn my midst;He has called an appointed time against meTo break my byoung men;The Lord has ctrodden as in a wine pressThe virgin daughter of Judah.

ע Ayin

16“For these things I aam weeping;1My eyes run down with water;Because far from me is a bcomforter,One who restores my soul.My children are desolateBecause the enemy has prevailed.”
