Lamentations 3:17-18 in Context (Verses 14–21 KJV)

I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.^*

He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.^*

And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.^*

And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.^*

My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.^*

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.^*
