Lamentations 3:4-18
4My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he made old; he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.6He hath made me to dwellH3427 in darkH4285 placesH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.7He hath walledH1443 me about, that I cannot goH3318 forthH3318; he hath madeH3513 my chain heavyH3513.8Yea, when I cryH2199, and call for helpH7768, he shutteth out my prayerH8605.9He hath walledH1443 up my waysH1870 with hewnH1496 stoneH1496; he hath made my pathsH5410 crooked.10He is unto me as a bearH1677 lyingH693 in waitH693, as a lionH738 in secretH4565 placesH4565.11He hath turnedH5493 asideH5493 my waysH1870, and pulled me in pieces; he hath madeH7760 me desolateH8076.12He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and setH5324 me as a mark for the arrowH2671.13He hath caused the shafts of his quiverH827 to enter into my reins.14I amH1961 becomeH1961 a derision to all my peopleH5971, and their songH5058 all the dayH3117.15He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwoodH3939.16He hath also broken my teethH8127 with gravelH2687 stones; he hath covered me with ashesH665.17And thou hast removed my soulH5315 far off from peaceH7965; I forgat prosperity.18And I saidH559, My strength is perishedH6, and mine expectation from Jehovah.
