Lamentations 3:2-18
He drove me into captivity and made me walk in darkness and not light.He repeatedly attacks me, he turns his hand against me all day long.ב( Bet)He has made my mortal skin waste away; he has broken my bones.He has besieged and surrounded me with bitter hardship.He has made me reside in deepest darkness like those who died long ago.ג( Gimel)He has walled me in so that I cannot get out; he has weighted me down with heavy prison chains.Also, when I cry out desperately for help, he has shut out my prayer.He has blocked every road I take with a wall of hewn stones; he has made every path impassable.ד( Dalet)To me he is like a bear lying in ambush, like a hidden lion stalking its prey.He has obstructed my paths and torn me to pieces; he has made me desolate.He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrow.ה( He)He shot his arrows into my heart.I have become the laughingstock of all people, their mocking song all day long.He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness.ו( Vav)He ground my teeth in gravel; he trampled me in the dust.I am deprived of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is.So I said,“ My endurance has expired; I have lost all hope of deliverance from the Lord.”ז( Zayin)

Jeremiah 12:1-3
LORD, you have always been fair whenever I have complained to you. However, I would like to speak with you about the disposition of justice. Why are wicked people successful? Why do all dishonest people have such easy lives?You plant them like trees and they put down their roots. They grow prosperous and are very fruitful. They always talk about you, but they really care nothing about you.But you, LORD, know all about me. You watch me and test my devotion to you. Drag these wicked men away like sheep to be slaughtered! Appoint a time when they will be killed!
