Lamentations 3:1-22
[1]I am the one who has seen the afflictions that come from the rod of the lord’s anger.
[2]He has led me into darkness, shutting out all light.
[3]He has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.
[4]He has made my skin and flesh grow old. He has broken my bones.
[5]He has besieged and surrounded me with anguish and distress.
[6]He has buried me in a dark place, like those long dead.
[7]He has walled me in, and I cannot escape. He has bound me in heavy chains.
[8]And though I cry and shout, he has shut out my prayers.
[9]He has blocked my way with a high stone wall; he has made my road crooked.
[10]He has hidden like a bear or a lion, waiting to attack me.
[11]He has dragged me off the path and torn me in pieces, leaving me helpless and devastated.
[12]He has drawn his bow and made me the target for his arrows.
[13]He shot his arrows deep into my heart.
[14]My own people laugh at me. All day long they sing their mocking songs.
[15]He has filled me with bitterness and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink.
[16]He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust.
[17]Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is.
[18]I cry out, “My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the lord is lost!”
[19]The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words.
[20]I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
[21]Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
[22]The faithful love of the lord never ends! His mercies never cease.
