Lamentations 3:13

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.
