Lamentations 3:4-18

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

5He hath builded againstH5921 meH5921, and compassed meH5921 with gallH7219 and travail.

6He hath made meH4191 to dwellH3427 in darkH4285 placesH4285, as those that have been longH5769 deadH4191.

7He hath fenced meH3318 aboutH1157, that I cannotH3808 goH3318 forthH3318; he hath madeH3513 my chainH5178 heavyH3513.

8YeaH3588, when I cryH2199 and callH7768 for helpH7768, he shutteth outH2199 my prayerH8605.

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

10He is unto me as a bearH1677 lyingH693 in waitH693, as a lionH738 in secretH4565 placesH4565.

11He hath turnedH5493 asideH5493 my waysH1870, and pulled meH7760 in piecesH6582; he hath madeH7760 meH7760 desolateH8076.

12He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and setH5324 meH5324 as a mark for the arrowH2671.

13He hath caused the shafts of his quiverH827 to enterH935 intoH935 my reins.

14I am becomeH1961 a derision to allH3605 my peopleH5971; and their songH5058 allH3605 the dayH3117.

15He hath filledH7646 meH7301 with bitternessH4844, he hath sated meH7301 with wormwoodH3939.

16He hath also brokenH1638 my teethH8127 with gravelH2687 stones, he hath covered me with ashesH665.

17And thou hast removed my soulH5315 far off from peaceH7965; I forgat prosperityH7965.

18And I saidH559, My strengthH5331 is perishedH6, and mine expectationH8431 from the LORDH3068.
