Lamentations 3:1-8

1 I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness, but not [into] light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand [against me] all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 He hath built against me, and compassed [me] with gall and labor.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as [they that are] dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
