Lamentations
Chapters 3:5-11
Revised Version 1885
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.
9He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
11He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
