Lamentations 3:8 in Context — Lamentations 3

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.

8 J’ai beau crier et implorer du secours, Il ne laisse pas accès à ma prière.

9 Il a fermé mon chemin avec des pierres de taille, Il a détruit mes sentiers.

10 Il a été pour moi un ours en embuscade, Un lion dans un lieu caché.
