Lamentations 3:12

Contemporary English Version 1995

God took careful aim and shot his arrows

See the chapter Copy

You shot me with your arrows, and you struck me with your hand.

Why do you watch us so closely? What's it to you, if I sin? Why am I your target and such a heavy burden?

He attacked like an enemy with a bow and arrows, killing our loved ones. He has burned to the ground the homes on Mount Zion.

The fearsome arrows of God All-Powerful have filled my soul with their poison.
