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 laughing–stock 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 gravel–stones, 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 Lord’s 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 contest––should 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.
