Lamentations 3:4-9 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. He has left my flesh open and raw, and has broken my bones.

5. He has shut me in a prison of misery and anguish.

6. He has forced me to live in the stagnant darkness of death.

7. He has bound me in chains; I am a prisoner with no hope of escape.

8. I cry aloud for help, but God refuses to listen;

9. I stagger as I walk; stone walls block me wherever I turn.
