Lamentations 3:2-18
English Standard Version
2 he has driven and brought me
(A)into darkness without any light;
3 surely against me he turns his hand
again and again the whole day long.
4 He has made my flesh and my skin waste away;
(B)he has broken my bones;
5 (C)he has besieged and enveloped me
with (D)bitterness and tribulation;
6 (E)he has made me dwell in darkness
like the dead of long ago.
7 (F)He has walled me about so that (G)I cannot escape;
he has made my chains heavy;
8 though (H)I call and cry for help,
he shuts out my prayer;
9 (I)he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;
he has made my paths crooked.
10 (J)He is a bear lying in wait for me,
a lion in hiding;
11 (K)he turned aside my steps and (L)tore me to pieces;
(M)he has made me desolate;
12 (N)he bent his bow (O)and set me
as a target for his arrow.
13 He drove into my kidneys
(P)the arrows of his quiver;
14 (Q)I have become the laughingstock of all peoples,
(R)the object of their taunts all day long.
15 (S)He has filled me with bitterness;
he has sated me with (T)wormwood.
16 (U)He has made my teeth grind on gravel,
and (V)made me cower in ashes;
17 my soul is bereft of peace;
I have forgotten what happiness[a] is;
18 (W)so I say, “My endurance has perished;
so has my hope from the Lord.”

Jeremiah's Complaint
12 (A)Righteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
(B)Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all (C)who are treacherous thrive?
2 You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
(D)you are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.
3 (E)But you, O Lord, know me;
(F)you see me, and test my heart toward you.
(G)Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and set them apart for (H)the day of slaughter.
