Lamentations - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- I `am' the man `who' hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
- Me He hath led, and causeth to go `in' darkness, and without light.
- Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
- He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.
- He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.
- In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.
- He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.
- Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
- He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
- A bear lying in wait He `is' to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
- My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
- He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
- He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.
- I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
- He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me `with' wormwood.
- And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
- And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
- And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.
- Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!
- Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.
