lesserot@Lamentations:3:1
@ I am the man who hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:2
@ Me hath he driven out, and led into darkness, but not into light.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:3
@ Surely against me doth he turn again and again his hand all the day.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:4
@ He hath caused my flesh and my skin to wear out, he hath broken my bones.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:5
@ He hath built around me, and encompassed me with poison and hardship.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:6
@ In dark places hath he set me to dwell, like the dead of olden times.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:7
@ He hath placed a fence round about me, that I cannot get out; he hath made heavy my chain.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:8
@ Also when I cry aloud and make entreaty, he shutteth out my prayer.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:9
@ He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, my paths hath he made crooked.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:10
@ A bear lying in wait is he to me, a lion in secret places.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:11
@ On my ways hath he placed thorns, and torn me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:12
@ He hath bent his bow, and placed me as a mark for the arrow.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:13
@ He hath caused to enter into my reins the children of his quiver.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:14
@ I am become a laughingstock to all my people, their song all the day.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:15
@ He hath sated me with bitter things, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:16
@ He hath also broken my teeth with gravelstones, he hath covered me with ashes.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:17
@ And my soul hath given up all thoughts of peace: I forget happiness.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:18
@ And I said, Lost is my strength, my expectation also from the Lord.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:19
@ Remembering my affliction and my complaint, wormwood and poison.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:20
@ Remembering continually my soul is bowed down deeply within me.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:21
@ this answer will I give to my heart: therefore will I wait.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:22
@ It is through the Lords kindness that we are not consumed, because his mercies have no end;
lesserot@Lamentations:3:23
@ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:24
@ The Lord is my portion, saith my soul, therefore will I wait for him.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:25
@ The Lord is good unto those that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:26
@ It is good that one should wait and this in silence for the salvation of the Lord.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:27
@ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth;
lesserot@Lamentations:3:28
@ That he sit in solitude and be silent; because He hath laid it upon him;
lesserot@Lamentations:3:29
@ That he put his mouth in the dust; perhaps there still is hope;
lesserot@Lamentations:3:30
@ That he offer his cheek to him that smiteth him; that he be satisfied with reproach.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:31
@ For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
lesserot@Lamentations:3:32
@ But though he have caused grief, yet will he have mercy according to the abundance of his kindnesses.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:33
@ For he doth not afflict of his own will, and aggrieve the children of men.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:34
@ To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
lesserot@Lamentations:3:35
@ To pervert the justice before the face of the Most High.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:36
@ To subvert a man in his contestshould the Lord not see this?
lesserot@Lamentations:3:37
@ Who is he that saith aught, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord hath not ordained it?
lesserot@Lamentations:3:38
@ Do not out of the mouth of the Most High come both the evil things and the good?
lesserot@Lamentations:3:39
@ Wherefore should a living man complain? let every man complain because of his sins.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:40
@ Let us search through and investigate our ways, and let us return to the Lord.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:41
@ Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:42
@ We have indeed transgressed and rebelled: thou hast truly not pardoned.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:43
@ Thou hast covered with thy anger, and made pursuit after us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:44
@ Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that no prayer should pass through.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:45
@ As something loathsome and rejected hast thou rendered us in the midst of the people.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:46
@ Wide have all our enemies opened against us their mouth.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:47
@ Terror and a snare are come upon us, desolation and breaches.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:48
@ With streams of water runneth my eye down, because of the breach of the daughter of my people.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:49
@ My eye trickleth down, and resteth not, without any intermission,
lesserot@Lamentations:3:50
@ Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:51
@ My eye affecteth my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:52
@ Those who are my enemies, without a cause, have chased me about like a bird.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:53
@ They have shut up in the dungeon my life, and have cast stones upon me.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:54
@ Waters streamed over my head: I said, I am cut off.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:55
@ I called on thy name, O Lord, out of the dungeon of the lowest depth.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:56
@ Thou didst hear my voice: hide not thy ear to give me enlargement at my cry.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:57
@ Thou wast ever near on the day that I called on thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:58
@ Thou didst plead, O Lord, the causes of my soul: thou didst redeem my life.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:59
@ Thou hast seen, O Lord, the wrong I suffer: judge thou my cause.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:60
@ Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their plans against me.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:61
@ Thou hast heard their reviling, O Lord, all their plans against me,
lesserot@Lamentations:3:62
@ The speeches of these that rise up against me, and their device against me all the day.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:63
@ Oh look upon their sitting down, and their rising up: I am their song.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:64
@ Render unto them a recompense, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:65
@ Give them confusion of heart, thy curse he upon them.
lesserot@Lamentations:3:66
@ Pursue them in anger and destroy from under the heavens of the Lord.
