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.”
