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