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.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 1 of Lamentations. Images of fire, a net, and a yoke represent an experience of oppression that seems to surround the city completely. Suffering is described as something God has allowed within the framework of judgment. The confession that transgressions have been bound into the yoke connects sin, responsibility, and consequences.

Er hat ein Feuer aus der Höhe in meine Gebeine gesandt und es lassen walten. Er hat meinen Füßen ein Netz gestellt und mich zurückgeprellt; er hat mich zur Wüste gemacht, daß ich täglich trauern muß.
Desde lo alto envió fuego en mis huesos, el cual se enseñoreó: Ha extendido red a mis pies, tornome atrás, Púsome asolada, y que siempre tenga dolor.
Desde lo alto envió fuego que dominó mis huesos. Tendió una red a mis pies y me hizo retroceder; me dejó desolada y desfallecida todo el día.
D'en haut il a lancé dans mes os un feu qui les dévore; Il a tendu un filet sous mes pieds, Il m'a fait tomber en arrière; Il m'a jetée dans la désolation, dans une langueur de tous les jours.
Egli ha da alto mandato un fuoco nelle mie ossa, Il quale si è appreso in esse; Egli ha tesa una rete a’ miei piedi, egli mi ha fatta cadere a rovescio; Egli mi ha renduta desolata e dolorosa tuttodì.
Desde o alto enviou fogo a meus ossos, o qual se assenhoreou deles; estendeu uma rede aos meus pés, fez-me voltar para trás, fez-me assolada e enferma todo o dia.
他從高處降火進入我的骨頭, 剋制了我; 他張開網,絆我的腳, 使我退後, 又令我終日淒涼發昏。
