Lamentations 3:4-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. My flesh and my skin He has made waste away;He has broken my bones;

5. He has besieged and enveloped mewith gall and travail.

6. He has set me in dark places,like the dead of long ago.

7. He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;He has made my chain heavy.

8. Even when I cry 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 a bear lying in wait,a lion in hiding.
