Lamentations 3:7-14 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. He has hedged me in, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.

8. Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.

9. He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he has made my paths crooked.

10. He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

11. He has turned aside 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.

14. I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
