Lamentations 3:9 in Context — Lamentations 3
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.
11 Il a détourné mes voies, il m’a déchiré, Il m’a jeté dans la désolation.
