Lamentations 3:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ It is as if he caused me to eat small stones, so that the stones broke my teeth.
Then he put me on the ground, and he pushed me down in the dirt.
¹⁷ He has taken peace away from my mind.
I cannot remember the happy days that I had before.
¹⁸ I tell myself, ‘Everything good has finished for me!
The things that I hoped for from the Lord have not come!’
