Lamentations 3:5-13 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

5. He has built against me,and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

6. He has made me dwell in dark places,as those who have been long dead.

7. He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out.He has made my chain heavy.

8. Yes, when I cry, and call for help,he shuts out my prayer.

9. He has walled up my ways with cut stone.He has made my paths crooked.

10. He is to me as a bear lying in wait,as a lion in secret places.

11. He has turned away my ways,and pulled me in pieces.He has made me desolate.

12. He has bent his bow,and set me as a mark for the arrow.

13. He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
