Read in context

Lamentations 3:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.

15 He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.

16 He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.

17 My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.

18 So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
