Lamentations 3:16 in Context — Lamentations 3

14 Je suis pour tout mon peuple un objet de raillerie, Chaque jour l’objet de leurs chansons.

15 Il m’a rassasié d’amertume, Il m’a enivré d’absinthe.

16 Il a brisé mes dents avec des cailloux, Il m’a couvert de cendre.

17 Tu m’as enlevé la paix; Je ne connais plus le bonheur.

18 Et j’ai dit: Ma force est perdue, Je n’ai plus d’espérance en l’Éternel!
