Lamentations 3:1-9

New King James Version

⁴ He has aged ^(A)my flesh and my skin,
And ^(B)broken my bones.
⁵ He has besieged me
And surrounded me with bitterness and ^[a]woe.
^6 (C)He has set me in dark places
Like the dead of long ago.

^7 (D)He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;
He has made my chain heavy.
⁸ Even ^(E)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.
