Lamentations 3:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ It is as if God has built high walls round me, and I cannot go out.
My troubles are very bad.
They hold me down like heavy chains.
⁸ I shout and I pray for help, but God does not listen.
⁹ On every road that I go along, he has put big rocks in my way.
I cannot go past them.
