The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.

Verse 14 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.

Meine schweren Sünden sind durch seine Strafe erwacht und in Haufen mir auf den Hals gekommen, daß mir alle meine Kraft vergeht. Der HERR hat mich also zugerichtet, daß ich nicht aufkommen kann.
El yugo de mis rebeliones está ligado por su mano, Enlazadas han subido sobre mi cerviz: ha hecho caer mis fuerzas: Hame entregado el Señor en sus manos, contra quienes no podré levantarme.
Con su mano ha atado el yugo de mis rebeliones; estas se entretejen y suben sobre mi cuello. Ha debilitado mis fuerzas; el Señor me ha entregado en manos contra las que no puedo resistir.
Sa main a lié le joug de mes iniquités; Elles se sont entrelacées, appliquées sur mon cou; Il a brisé ma force; Le Seigneur m'a livrée à des mains auxquelles je ne puis résister.
Il giogo de’ miei misfatti è stato aggravato dalla sua mano; Quelli sono stati attorti, e mi sono stati posti in sul collo; Egli ha fatta traboccar la mia forza; Il Signore mi ha messa nelle mani di tali, che non posso rilevarmi.
O jugo das minhas transgressões está atado pela sua mão; elas estão entretecidas, subiram sobre o meu pescoço, e ele abateu a minha força; entregou-me o Senhor nas mãos daqueles a quem não posso resistir.
他用手綁我罪過的軛, 捲繞著加在我頸項上; 他使我力量衰敗。 主將我交在我不能抵擋的人手中。
