Bible in Basic English
"He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places."
— Lamentations 3:10, Bible in Basic English
“Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.”
He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.
Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out.
He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.
He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places.
By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.
With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.
He has let loose his arrows into the inmost parts of my body.
