Lamentations 3:8-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Even when I cry for help,He shuts out my prayer.

9. He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;He has made my paths crooked.

10. He is to me a bear lying in wait,a lion in hiding.

11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;He has made me desolate.

12. He has bent His bowand set me as a target for the arrow.

13. He has caused the arrows of His quiverto pierce my inward parts.

14. I have become the derision of all my people,their mocking song all the day.

15. He has filled me with bitterness,He has sated me with wormwood.
