American Standard Version
Lamentations 3:5-19
5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.6He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.7He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.8Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.9He hath walled up my ways with hewn stone; he hath made my paths crooked.10He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.12He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.13He hath caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.14I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.15He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwood.16He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he hath covered me with ashes.17And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity.18And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from Jehovah.19Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
