New Testament

Lamentations 3:1-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. I am someone who saw the suffering caused by God’s angry rod.

2. He drove me away, forced me to walk in darkness, not light.

3. He turned his hand even against me, over and over again, all day long.

4. He wore out my flesh and my skin; he broke my bones.

5. He besieged me, surrounding me with bitterness and weariness.

6. He made me live in dark places like those who’ve been dead a long time.

7. He walled me in so I couldn’t escape; he made my chains heavy.
