Lamentations 1:11-12

11 All her people groan
as they search for bread;
they barter their treasures for food
to keep themselves alive.
“Look, O Lord, and consider,
for I am despised.”

12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering
that was inflicted on me,
that the Lord brought on me
in the day of his fierce anger?
