Lamentations 3:12 in Context — Lamentations 3

10 Foi para mim como um urso que espia, como um leão escondido.

11 Desviou meus caminhos, e fez-me em pedaços; deixou-me desolado.

12 Armou seu arco, e me pôs como alvo para a flecha.

13 Fez entrar em meus rins as flechas de sua aljava.

14 Servi de escárnio a todo o meu povo, de canção ridícula deles o dia todo.
