New International Version Anglicized

Lamentations 3:6-12 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

6. He has made me dwell in darknesslike those long dead.

7. He has walled me in so that I cannot escape;he has weighed me down with chains.

8. Even when I call out or cry for help,he shuts out my prayer.

9. He has barred my way with blocks of stone;he has made my paths crooked.

10. Like a bear lying in wait,like a lion in hiding,

11. he dragged me from the path and mangled meand left me without help.

12. He drew his bowand made me the target for his arrows.
