Lamentations 3:4-18

4My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he made oldH1086; he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.

5He hath builded againstH1129 me, and compassedH5362 me with gallH7219 and travailH8513.

6He hath setH3427 me in dark placesH4285, as they that be deadH4191 of oldH5769.

7He hath hedgedH1443 me about, that I cannot get outH3318: he hath made my chainH5178 heavyH3513.

8Also when I cryH2199 and shoutH7768, he shutteth outH5640 my prayerH8605.

9He hath inclosedH1443 my waysH1870 with hewn stoneH1496, he hath made my pathsH5410 crookedH5753.

10He was unto me as a bearH1677 lying in waitH693, and as a lionH738 in secret placesH4565.

11He hath turned asideH5493 my waysH1870, and pulled me in piecesH6582: he hath madeH7760 me desolateH8074.

12He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and setH5324 me as a markH4307 for the arrowH2671.

13He hath caused the arrowsH1121 of his quiverH827 to enterH935 into my reinsH3629.1

14I was a derisionH7814 to all my peopleH5971; and their songH5058 all the dayH3117.

15He hath filledH7646 me with bitternessH4844, he hath made me drunkenH7301 with wormwoodH3939.2

16He hath also brokenH1638 my teethH8127 with gravel stonesH2687, he hath coveredH3728 me with ashesH665.3

17And thou hast removedH2186 my soulH5315 far offH2186 from peaceH7965: I forgatH5382 prosperityH2896.4

18And I saidH559, My strengthH5331 and my hopeH8431 is perishedH6 from YhwhH3068:
