American Standard Version
"He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. "
— Lamentations 3:5, American Standard Version
“He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.”
“He has built against me, and surrounded me with gall and travail.”
“He has besieged and surrounded me with bitter hardship.”
“Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall, and labour.”
“He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.”
“He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.”
He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again all the day.
My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.
Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.
