Lamentations 1:10-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

10. The foe stretched out his handsto all her precious things;She has seen the nationsenter her sanctuary,Those you forbade to comeinto your assembly.

11. All her people groan,searching for bread;They give their precious things for food,to retain the breath of life.“Look, O Lord, and pay attentionto how I have been demeaned!

12. Come, all who pass by the way,pay attention and see:Is there any pain like my pain,which has been ruthlessly inflicted upon me,With which the Lord has tormented meon the day of his blazing wrath?

13. From on high he hurled fire downinto my very bones;He spread out a net for my feet,and turned me back.He has left me desolate,in misery all day long.
