Lamentations 3:5-19
5He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.6He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
7He has walled me in so I cannot escape;He has weighed me down with chains.8Even when I cry out and plead for help,He shuts out my prayer.9He has barred my ways with cut stones;He has made my paths crooked.
10He is a bear lying in wait,a lion hiding in ambush.11He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces;He left me without help.12He bent His bowand set me as the target for His arrow.
13He pierced my kidneyswith His arrows.14I am a laughingstock to all my people;they mock me in song all day long.15He has filled me with bitterness;He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
16He has ground my teeth with graveland trampled me in the dust.17My soul has been deprived of peace;I have forgotten what prosperity is.18So I say, “My strength has perished,along with my hope from the LORD.”
19Remember my affliction and wandering,the wormwood and the gall.
