Lamentations 3:8-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. Even when I cry and shout,He shuts out my prayer.

9. He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;He has made my paths crooked.

10. He has been to me a bear lying in wait,Like a lion in ambush.

11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;He has made me desolate.

12. He has bent His bowAnd set me up as a target for the arrow.
