Lamentaciones 1

Aus der Höhe sandte er Feuer, ließ es in meine Gebeine herniederfahren, stellte meinen Füßen ein Netz, trieb mich zurück, machte mich wüste, immerdar siech.

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.
