Lamentations 3:1-7

New Revised Standard NRS

1 I am one who has seen affliction under the rod of God's wrath;

2 he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light;

3 against me alone he turns his hand, again and again, all day long.

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;
