Lamentations 3:4-18 (New Revised Standard)
4
He has made my flesh and my skin waste away, and broken my bones;
5
he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation;
6
he has made me sit in darkness like the dead of long ago.
7
He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has put heavy chains on me;
8
though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;
9
he has blocked my ways with hewn stones, he has made my paths crooked.
10
He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;
11
he led me off my way and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate;
12
he bent his bow and set me as a mark for his arrow.
13
He shot into my vitals the arrows of his quiver;
14
I have become the laughingstock of all my people, the object of their taunt-songs all day long.
15
He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood.
16
He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes;
17
my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is;
18
so I say, "Gone is my glory, and all that I had hoped for from the Lord."
