Lamentations 3:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 He made me chew stones that broke my teeth.
He has walked all over me in the dust.
17 I have lost all hope of ever having any peace.
I’ve forgotten what good times are like.
18 So I say, “My glory has faded away.
My hope in the Lord is gone.”

Lamentations 3:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 He has also (A)made my teeth grind with (B)gravel;
He has made me cower in the (C)dust.
17 My soul has been excluded (D)from peace;
I have forgotten [a]happiness.
18 So I say, “My [b]strength has failed,
And so has my (E)hope from the Lord.”
