Lamentations 3:10-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. He has been like a bear waiting to attack me. He has been like a lion hiding in the bushes.

11. He has dragged me off the path. He has torn me to pieces. And he has left me helpless.

12. He has gotten his bow ready to use. He has shot his arrows at me.

13. The arrows from his bag have gone through my heart.

14. My people laugh at me all the time. They sing and make fun of me all day long.
