New Testament

Ekhah 3:9-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. He hath barred my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked.

10. He was unto me like a dov (bear) lying in wait, and like an aryeh in mistarim (hiding places).

11. He hath turned aside the darkhei of mine, and pulled me in pieces; He hath made me desolate.

12. He hath bent His keshet, and set me as a target for the khetz (arrow).

13. He hath caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my organs.

14. I was a derision to kol ami; and their [mocking] song kol hayom.

15. He hath filled me with merorim (bitter herbs); He hath made me drunk with suffering.

16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel, He hath covered me with aphar.
