Lamentations 3:9

⁷ He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.

⁸ Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.

He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.

¹⁰ He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.

¹¹ He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
