Lamentations 3:1-15

Lamentations 3:1-15

1
I am the man who hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
2
Me He hath led, and causeth to go in darkness, and without light.
3
Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
4
He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.
5
He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.
6
In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.
7
He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.
8
Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
9
He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
10
A bear lying in wait He is to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
11
My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
12
He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
13
He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.
14
I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
15
He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me with wormwood.
