Lamentations 1:14

נִשְׂקַ֤ד עֹל֙ פְּשָׁעַ֔י בְּיָד֖וֹ יִשְׂתָּרְג֑וּ עָל֣וּ עַל צַוָּארִ֗י הִכְשִׁ֤יל כֹּחִי֙ נְתָנַ֣נִי אֲדֹנָ֔י בִּידֵ֖י לֹא אוּכַ֥ל קֽוּם׃
nishqad ʿol pshaʿay byadvo yishtargv ʿalv ʿal ṣavaʾriy hikshiyl koḥiy ntananiy ʾadonay biydey loʾ ʾvkal qvm
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

My transgressions were bound into a yoke; by his hand they were fastened together; they were set on my neck; he caused my strength to fail; the Lord gave me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
