Lamentations 3:1-13

1I am the manH1397 that hath seenH7200 affliction by the rodH7626 of his wrathH5678.

2Me hath he ledH5090, and brought into darknessH2822, and not into lightH216.

3SurelyH389 against me hath he turnedH2015 again and again his handH3027 all the dayH3117.

4My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he wasted away, he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.

5He hath builtH1129 against me, and encompassed [me] with gall and toil.

6He hath made me to dwellH3427 in darkH4285 placesH4285 as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.

7He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath madeH3513 my chain heavyH3513.

8Even when I cryH2199 and shout, he shutteth out my prayerH8605.

9He hath inclosed my waysH1870 with hewnH1496 stoneH1496, he hath made my pathsH5410 crooked.

10He is unto me [as] a bearH1677 lyingH693 in waitH693, 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 arrows of his quiverH827 to enter into my reins.
