Lamentations 3:1-10

3:1

I [am] the man
<01397>

[that] hath seen
<07200> (8804)

affliction
<06040>

by the rod
<07626>

of his wrath
<05678>_.

3:2

He hath led
<05090> (8804)

me, and brought
<03212> (8686)

[me into] darkness
<02822>_,

but not [into] light
<0216>_.

3:3

Surely against me is he turned
<07725> (8799)_;

he turneth
<02015> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

[against me] all the day
<03117>_.

3:4

My flesh
<01320>

and my skin
<05785>

hath he made old
<01086> (8765)_;

he hath broken
<07665> (8765)

my bones
<06106>_.

3:5

He hath builded against
<01129> (8804)

me, and compassed
<05362> (8686)

[me] with gall
<07219>

and travail
<08513>_.

3:6

He hath set
<03427> (8689)

me in dark places
<04285>_,

as [they that be] dead
<04191> (8801)

of old
<05769>_.

3:7

He hath hedged
<01443> (8804)

me about, that I cannot get out
<03318> (8799)_:

he hath made my chain
<05178>

heavy
<03513> (8689)_.

3:8

Also when I cry
<02199> (8799)

and shout
<07768> (8762)_,

he shutteth out
<05640> (8804)

my prayer
<08605>_.

3:9

He hath inclosed
<01443> (8804)

my ways
<01870>

with hewn stone
<01496>_,

he hath made my paths
<05410>

crooked
<05753> (8765)_.

3:10

He [was] unto me [as] a bear
<01677>

lying in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

[and as] a lion
<0738>

in secret places
<04565>_.
