Lamentaciones 1

MEM. Dall'alto mandò un fuoco nelle mie ossa, e mi gastigò: tese una rete a' miei piedi, e mi fe' cadere all'indietro. Mi ha posto in desolazione, mi ha fatto tutto di consumar di dolore.

Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: ha extendido red á mis pies, tornóme atrás, púsome asolada, y que siempre tenga dolor.

From above hath he sent fire into my 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 faint all the day.

“From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them. He has spread a net for my feet. He has turned me back. He has made me desolate and I faint all day long.
