Lamentations 3:12-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. DALETH. He has bent his bow, and he has positioned me like a target for his arrows.

13. HE. He has shot into my kidneys the daughters of his quiver.

14. HE. I have become a derision to all my people, their song throughout the day.

15. HE. He has filled me with bitterness; he has inebriated me with wormwood.

16. VAU. And he has broken each one of my teeth; he has fed me with ashes.

17. VAU. And my soul has been driven away from peace; I have forgotten what is good.

18. VAU. And I said, "My end and my hope from the Lord has perished."
