Lamentations 3:5 in Context — Lamentations 3
3 Contre moi il tourne et retourne sa main Tout le jour.
4 Il a fait dépérir ma chair et ma peau, Il a brisé mes os.
5 Il a bâti autour de moi, Il m’a environné de poison et de douleur.
6 Il me fait habiter dans les ténèbres, Comme ceux qui sont morts dès longtemps.
7 Il m’a entouré d’un mur, pour que je ne sorte pas; Il m’a donné de pesantes chaînes.
