Lamentations 3:11-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. He has turned me off my ways and pulled me in pieces; He has made me desolate.

12. He has bent His bow and set me as a mark for the arrow.

13. He has caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my heart [the seat of my affections and desires].

14. I have become a derision to all my people, and [the subject of] their singsong all the day.

15. He has filled me with bitterness; He has made me drink to excess and until drunken with wormwood [bitterness].

16. He has also broken my teeth with gravel (stones); He has covered me with ashes.

17. And You have bereaved my soul and cast it off far from peace; I have forgotten what good and happiness are.
