Unhappy above all others, you shall come and suffer fresh afflictions: Good News Bible provides a helpful model for this verse, and so does Contemporary English Version, which says:

• You will suffer more than anyone else has ever suffered, but things will get even worse.

Another possible model is:

• No one has ever been as miserable as you are going to be, but there will be even more suffering ahead for you.
