Lamentations 3:5-19

5He has besiegedH1129 meH5921 and surrounded meH5362 with bitternessH7219 and hardshipH8513.6He has made me dwellH3427 in darknessH4285 like 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.
16He has groundH1638 my teethH8127 with gravelH2687and trampled meH3728 in the dustH665.17My soulH5315 has been deprivedH2186 of peaceH7965;I have forgottenH5382 what prosperity isH2896.18So I sayH559, “My strengthH5331 has perishedH6,along with my hopeH8431 from the LORDH3068.”
19RememberH2142 my afflictionH6040 and wanderingH4788,the wormwoodH3939 and the gallH7219.
