God built a fence around me
that I cannot climb over,
and he chained me down.
Even when I shouted
and prayed for help,
he refused to listen.
God put big rocks in my way
and made me follow
a crooked path.
God was like a bear or a lion
waiting in ambush for me;
he dragged me from the road,
then tore me to shreds.[a]
God took careful aim
and shot his arrows
straight through my heart.
Lamentations 3:7-13
