Lamentations 3:10–18
10He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding.↗
11He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.↗
12He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.↗
13He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.↗
14I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.↗
15He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.↗
16He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.↗
17You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.↗
18I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.”↗
