Lamentations 3:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ He has brought me to this dark place.
So I am like a person who has been dead for a long time.
⁷ It is as if God has built high walls round me, and I cannot go out.
My troubles are very bad.
They hold me down like heavy chains.
⁸ I shout and I pray for help, but God does not listen.
