Lamentations 1:14

He has watched over my sins, 1 They are twined about my hands, 1 They have come up on my neck: 1 My strength has failed; 1 For the Lord has laid pains on my hands, 1 I shall not be able to stand. 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.

15The Lord has cut off 1 All my strong men from the midst of me: 1 He has summoned against me a time 1 For crushing my choice men: 1 The Lord has trodden a winepress 1 For the virgin daughter of Judah: 1 For these things I weep. 1
