Verse
Lamentations - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
- He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
- Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again all the day.
- My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
- He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
- He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
- He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.
- Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.
- He hath walled up my ways with hewn stone; he hath made my paths crooked.
- He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
- He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
- He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
- He hath caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.
- I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
- He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwood.
- He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he hath covered me with ashes.
- And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity.
- And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from Jehovah.
- Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
- My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
