Lamentations
Chapters 3:2-8
Revised Version 1885
2He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light.
3Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again all the day.
4My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
7He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.
8Yea, when I cry and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.
