Lamentations 3:12-16 New International Version (NIV)

12. He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows.

13. He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver.

14. I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long.

15. He has filled me with bitter herbs and given me gall to drink.

16. He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.
