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 brought me into darkness, but not into light.
- Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
- My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
- He hath built against me, and compassed me with gall and labor.
- He hath set me in dark places, as they that are dead of old.
- He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
- Also 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 was to me as a bear lying in wait, and 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 arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
- I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
- He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken 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 and my hope hath perished from the LORD:
- Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
- My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
