Lamentations 3:8-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. Even though I call out and cry for help, he silences my prayer.

9. He walled in my paths with stonework; he made my routes crooked.

10. He is a bear lurking for me, a lion in hiding.

11. He took me from my path and tore me apart; he made me desolate.

12. He drew back his bow, made me a shooting target for arrows.

13. He shot the arrows of his quiver into my inside parts.
