New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Lamentations 3
6 In dark places He has made me dwell, Like those who have long been dead.
7 He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chain heavy.
8 Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.
10 He is to me like a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in secret places.
11 He has turned aside my ways and torn me to pieces; He has made me desolate.
12 He bent His bow And set me as a target for the arrow.
13 He made the arrows of His quiver To enter into my inward parts.
14 I have become a laughingstock to all my people, Their mocking song all the day.
15 He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drunk with wormwood.
16 He has broken my teeth with gravel; He has made me cower in the dust.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
