Lamentations 3:1-20
1IH5891 am the manH1397 who has seenH7200 afflictionH6040 under the rodH7626 of God’s wrathH5678.2He has driven me awayH5090 and made me walkH1980 in darknessH2822 instead ofH3808 lightH216.3IndeedH389, He keeps turningH7725H2015 His handH3027 against me all day longH3605H3117.
4He has worn awayH1086 my fleshH1320 and skinH5785;He has shatteredH7665 my bonesH6106.5He has besiegedH1129 meH5921 and surrounded meH5362with bitternessH7219 and hardshipH8513.6He has made me dwellH3427 in darknessH4285like those deadH4191 for agesH5769.
7He has walled me inH1443H1157 so I cannotH3808 escapeH3318;He has weighed me downH3513 with chainsH5178.8EvenH1571 whenH3588 I cry outH2199 and plead for helpH7768,He shuts outH5640 my prayerH8605.9He has barredH1443 my waysH1870 with cut stonesH1496;He has made my pathsH5410 crookedH5753.
10HeH1931 is a bearH1677 lying in waitH693,a lionH738 hiding in ambushH4565.11He forced me offH5493 my pathH1870 and tore me to piecesH6582;He left meH7760 without helpH8076.12He bentH1869 His bowH7198and set meH5324 as the targetH4307 for His arrowH2671.
13He piercedH935 my kidneysH3629with His arrowsH1121H827.14I amH1961 a laughingstockH7814 to allH3605 my peopleH5971;they mock me in songH5058 all day longH3605H3117.15He has filled meH7646 with bitternessH4844;He has intoxicated meH7301 with wormwoodH3939.
