Lamentations 3:4-9 American Standard Version (ASV)

4. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

5. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

6. He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

7. He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.

8. Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.

9. He hath walled up my ways with hewn stone; he hath made my paths crooked.
