Lamentations 3:8-14 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

8. Yes, when I cry, and call for help,he shuts out my prayer.

9. He has walled up my ways with cut stone.He has made my paths crooked.

10. He is to me as a bear lying in wait,as a lion in secret places.

11. He has turned away 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 shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.

14. I have become a derision to all my people,and their song all day long.
