rotherham@Lamentations:3:1 @ I, am the man, that hath seen affliction, by the rod of his indignation;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:2 @ Me, hath he driven out and brought into darkness, and not light;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:3 @ Surely, against me, doth he again and again, turn his hand all the day.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:4 @ He hath worn out my flesh and my skin, hath broken my bones;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:5 @ He hath built up against me, and carried round me, fortifications and a trench;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:6 @ In dark places, hath he made me sit, like the dead of age-past times.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:7 @ He hath walled up around me, that I cannot get out, hath weighted my fetter;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:8 @ Yea, when I make outcry and implore, he hath shut out my prayer;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:9 @ He hath walled in my ways with hewn stone, my paths, hath he caused to wind back.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:10 @ A bear lying in wait, he is to me, a lion, in secret places;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:11 @ My ways, hath he turned aside, and hath torn me in pieces, hath made me desolate;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:12 @ He hath trodden his bow, and set me up, as a mark for the arrow.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:13 @ He hath caused to enter my reins, the sons of his quiver;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:14 @ I have become a derision to all my people, their song all the day;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:15 @ He hath sated me with bitter things, hath drenched me with wormwood.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:16 @ And he hath crushed, with gravel-stones, my teeth, hath made me cower in ashes;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:17 @ And thou hast thrust away from welfare, my soul, I have forgotten prosperity;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:18 @ And I said, Vanished is mine endurance, even mine expectation, from Yahweh.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my humiliation and my fleeings, the wormwood and poison;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:20 @ Thou wilt, indeed remember, that, bowed down concerning myself, is my soul;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:21 @ This, will I bring back to my heart, therefore, will I hope.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:22 @ The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, verily they are not exhausted, Verily! not at an end, are his compassions:

rotherham@Lamentations:3:23 @ New things for the mornings! Abundant is thy faithfulness:

rotherham@Lamentations:3:24 @ My portion, is Yahweh, saith my soul, For this cause, will I wait for him.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:25 @ Good is Yahweh, to them who wait for him, to the soul that will seek him;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:26 @ Good it isboth to wait and to be silent, for the deliverance of Yahweh;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:27 @ Good it is for a man, that he should bear the yoke in his youth.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:28 @ Let him sit alone, and keep silence, because he took it upon himself:

rotherham@Lamentations:3:29 @ Let him put, in the dust, his mouth, peradventure, there is hope!

rotherham@Lamentations:3:30 @ Let him give, to him that smiteth him, his cheek, let him be sated with reproach.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:31 @ Surely My Lord, will not cast off, unto times age-abiding;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:32 @ Surely, though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion, according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:33 @ Surely he hath not afflicted from his heart, nor caused sorrow to the sons of men.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:34 @ To crush, under his feet, any of the prisoners of the earth;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:35 @ To turn aside the right of a man, before the face of the Most High;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:36 @ To oppress a son of earth in his cause, My Lord, hath made no provision.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who was it that spake, and it was done,, My Lord, had not commanded?

rotherham@Lamentations:3:38 @ Out of the mouth of the Most High, Proceed there not misfortunes and blessing?

rotherham@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why should a living son of earth complain, because of his sins?

rotherham@Lamentations:3:40 @ Let us search out our ways, and examine them well, and let us return unto Yahweh;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our heart, to the opened palms, to the Mighty One in the heavens;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:42 @ We, have trespassed and rebelled, Thou, hast not pardoned.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:43 @ Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us, hast slainhast not spared;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:44 @ Thou hast screened thyself with the clouds, that prayer, should not pass through;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:45 @ Offscouring and refuse, dost thou make us, in the midst of the peoples.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:46 @ With their mouth, opened wide over us, all our foes.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:47 @ Terror and a pit, have befallen us, tumult and grievous injury;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:48 @ With streams of water, mine eye runneth down, over the grievous injury of the daughter of my people.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:49 @ Mine eye, poureth itself out and ceaseth not, without relief;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:50 @ Until Yahweh out of the heavens shall look forth, and see,

rotherham@Lamentations:3:51 @ Mine eye dealeth severely with my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:52 @ They, have laid snares, for me as a bird, who are mine enemies without cause:

rotherham@Lamentations:3:53 @ They have cut off, in the dungeon, my life, and have cast a stone upon me;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:54 @ Waters, flowed over, my head, I said, I am cut off!

rotherham@Lamentations:3:55 @ I have called upon thy Name, O Yahweh, out of the dungeon below;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:56 @ My voice, thou hast heard, do not close thine ear to my respite, to mine outcry;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:57 @ Thou drewest near, in the day I kept calling on thee, thou saidst, Do not fear!

rotherham@Lamentations:3:58 @ Thou hast pleaded, O My Lord, the pleas of my soul, hast redeemed my life;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:59 @ Thou hast beheld, O Yahweh, my failure to get justice, Pronounce thou my sentence;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:60 @ Thou hast seen all their vindictiveness, all their plots against me.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:61 @ Thou hast heard their reproach, O Yahweh, all their plots against me;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:62 @ The lips of mine assailants, and their mutterings, are against me, all the day;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:63 @ On their downsitting and their uprising, do thou look, I, am their song.

rotherham@Lamentations:3:64 @ Thou wilt render to them a recompense, O Yahweh, according to the work of their hands;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:65 @ Thou wilt suffer them a veiling of heart, thy curse to them;

rotherham@Lamentations:3:66 @ Thou wilt pursue in anger, and wilt destroy them, from under the heavens of Yahweh.
