Lamentations 3:16 in Context — Lamentations 3

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

15 Fartou-me de amarguras, embebedou-me de absinto.

16 Quebrou os meus dentes com cascalho, cobriu-me de cinzas.

17 E afastou minha alma da paz, fez-me esquecer da boa vida.

18 Então eu disse: Pereceram minha força e minha esperança no SENHOR.
