Lamentations 3:13
11 He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
12 He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
14 I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
