Lamentations 3:10

Read in context

Lamentations 3:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.

9 He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.

10 He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.

11 He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.

12 He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
