Lamentations 3:2-18
He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light;indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long.He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains.Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked.Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding,he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help.He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows.He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver.I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long.He has filled me with bitter herbs and given me gall to drink.He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.So I say,“ My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”

Jeremiah 12:1-3
You are always righteous, Lord, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts.Yet you know me, Lord; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter!
