Verse
Lamentations - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
- Me hath he led, and brought into darkness, and not into light.
- Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day.
- My flesh and my skin hath he wasted away, he hath broken my bones.
- He hath built against me, and encompassed me with gall and toil.
- He hath made me to dwell in dark places as those that have been long dead.
- He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
- Even when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
- He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
- He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, 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 arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
- I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day.
- He hath sated me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk 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 have forgotten prosperity.
- And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah.
- Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
- My soul hath them constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
