Lamentations 3:11-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. DALETH. He has subverted my paths, and he has broken me. He has placed me in desolation.

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."
