Lamentations 3:2-6
The Message

God Locked Me Up in Deep Darkness

3 1-3 I’m the man who has seen trouble,
    trouble coming from the lash of God’s anger.
He took me by the hand and walked me
    into pitch-black darkness.
Yes, he’s given me the back of his hand
    over and over and over again.

4-6 He turned me into a skeleton
    of skin and bones, then broke the bones.
He hemmed me in, ganged up on me,
    poured on the trouble and hard times.
He locked me up in deep darkness,
    like a corpse nailed inside a coffin.

Lamentations 3:2-4
New International Version

2 He has driven me away and made me walk
    in darkness(A) rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me(B)
    again and again, all day long.

4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old(C)
    and has broken my bones.(D)
