Lamentations 3:52-54

The Voice

⁵² Running me down, my enemies for no reason
    hunt me, a tiny bird.
⁵³ Rattling my bones with stones thrown down on my head,
    having flung me mercilessly in a pit.
⁵⁴ ’Round about me and over me, watery darkness closes in.
    I cry out, “I’m drowning! All is lost, lost.”
