Lamentations 3:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

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.”

19 Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
