Lamentations 3:10
Compare all
8 Even awhen I cry and shout,
He shuts out my prayer. 
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;
He has made my paths crooked.
10 aHe has been to me a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in1 ambush. 
11 He has turned aside my ways and atorn me in pieces;
He has made me desolate. 
12 He has bent His bow
And aset me up as a target for the arrow. 
13 He has caused athe arrows of His quiver
To pierce my1 loins. 
14 I have become the aridicule of all my people—
bTheir taunting song all the day. 
15 aHe has filled me with bitterness,
He has made me drink wormwood. 
16 He has also broken my teeth awith gravel,
And1 covered me with ashes. 
17 You have moved my soul far from peace;
I have forgotten1 prosperity. 
18 aAnd I said, “My strength and my hope
Have perished from the Lord.” 
19 Remember my affliction and roaming,
aThe wormwood and the1 gall. 
20 My soul still remembers
And1 sinks within me.
