Lamentations 1:13

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.

KJV

De excelso misit ignem in ossibus meis, et erudivit me : expandit rete pedibus meis, convertit me retrorsum ; posuit me desolatam, tota die mœrore confectam.

Vulgate

Μήμ. Ἐξ ὕψους αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλεν πῦρ, ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου κατήγαγεν αὐτό· διεπέτασεν δίκτυον τοῖς ποσίν μου, ἀπέστρεψέν με εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἔδωκέν με ἠφανισμένην, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ὀδυνωμένην.

LXX

From on high 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.
