Lamentations 3:9-11

King James Version

⁹He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

¹⁰He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

¹¹He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

he has made my paths crooked.^(B)

¹⁰Like a bear lying in wait,
like a lion^(C) in hiding,^(D)
¹¹he dragged me from the path and mangled^(E) me
and left me without help.
