dourh@Lamentations:3:1 @ Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.

dourh@Lamentations:3:2 @ Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.

dourh@Lamentations:3:3 @ Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.

dourh@Lamentations:3:4 @ Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.

dourh@Lamentations:3:5 @ Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.

dourh@Lamentations:3:6 @ Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.

dourh@Lamentations:3:7 @ Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.

dourh@Lamentations:3:8 @ Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.

dourh@Lamentations:3:9 @ Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.

dourh@Lamentations:3:10 @ Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.

dourh@Lamentations:3:11 @ Daleth. He hath turned aside my paths, and hath broken me in pieces, he hath made me desolate.

dourh@Lamentations:3:12 @ Daleth. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for his arrows.

dourh@Lamentations:3:13 @ He. He hath shot into my reins the daughters of his quiver.

dourh@Lamentations:3:14 @ He. I am made a derision to all my people, their song all the day long.

dourh@Lamentations:3:15 @ He. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath inebriated me with wormwood.

dourh@Lamentations:3:16 @ Vau. And he hath broken my teeth one by one, he hath fed me with ashes.

dourh@Lamentations:3:17 @ Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things.

dourh@Lamentations:3:18 @ Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.

dourh@Lamentations:3:19 @ Zain. Remember my poverty, and transgression, the wormwood, and the gall.

dourh@Lamentations:3:20 @ Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me.

dourh@Lamentations:3:21 @ Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope.

dourh@Lamentations:3:22 @ Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed.

dourh@Lamentations:3:23 @ Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.

dourh@Lamentations:3:24 @ Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him.

dourh@Lamentations:3:25 @ Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.

dourh@Lamentations:3:26 @ Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.

dourh@Lamentations:3:27 @ Teth. It is good for a man, when he hath borne the yoke from his youth.

dourh@Lamentations:3:28 @ Jod. He shall sit solitary, and hold his peace: because he hath taken it up upon himself.

dourh@Lamentations:3:29 @ Jod. He shall put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

dourh@Lamentations:3:30 @ Jod. He shall give his cheek to him that striketh him, he shall be filled with reproaches.

dourh@Lamentations:3:31 @ Caph. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.

dourh@Lamentations:3:32 @ Caph. For if he hath cast off, he will also have mercy, according to the multitude of his mercies.

dourh@Lamentations:3:33 @ Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men.

dourh@Lamentations:3:34 @ Lamed. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,

dourh@Lamentations:3:35 @ Lamed. To turn aside the judgment of a man before the face of the most High,

dourh@Lamentations:3:36 @ Lamed. To destroy a man wrongfully in his judgment, the Lord hath not approved.

dourh@Lamentations:3:37 @ Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not?

dourh@Lamentations:3:38 @ Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?

dourh@Lamentations:3:39 @ Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?

dourh@Lamentations:3:40 @ Nun. Let us search our ways, and seek, and return to the Lord.

dourh@Lamentations:3:41 @ Nun. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to the Lord in the heavens.

dourh@Lamentations:3:42 @ Nun. We have done wickedly, and provoked thee to wrath: therefore thou art inexorable.

dourh@Lamentations:3:43 @ Samech. Thou hast covered in thy wrath, and hast struck us: thou hast killed and hast not spared.

dourh@Lamentations:3:44 @ Samech. Thou hast set a cloud before thee, that our prayer may not pass through.

dourh@Lamentations:3:45 @ Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.

dourh@Lamentations:3:46 @ Phe. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

dourh@Lamentations:3:47 @ Phe. Prophecy is become to us a fear, and a snare, and destruction.

dourh@Lamentations:3:48 @ Phe. My eye hath run down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

dourh@Lamentations:3:49 @ Ain. My eye is afflicted, and hath not been quiet, because there was no rest:

dourh@Lamentations:3:50 @ Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.

dourh@Lamentations:3:51 @ Ain. My eye hath wasted my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

dourh@Lamentations:3:52 @ Sade. My enemies have chased me and caught me like a bird, without cause.

dourh@Lamentations:3:53 @ Sade. My life is fallen into the pit, and they have laid a stone over me.

dourh@Lamentations:3:54 @ Sade. Waters have flowed over my head: I said: I am cut off.

dourh@Lamentations:3:55 @ Coph. I have called upon thy name, O Lord, from the lowest pit.

dourh@Lamentations:3:56 @ Coph. Thou hast heard my voice: turn not away thy ear from my sighs, and cries.

dourh@Lamentations:3:57 @ Coph. Thou drewest near in the day, when I called upon thee, thou saidst: Fear not.

dourh@Lamentations:3:58 @ Res. Thou hast judged, O Lord, the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.

dourh@Lamentations:3:59 @ Res. Thou hast seen, O Lord, their iniquity against me: judge thou my judgment.

dourh@Lamentations:3:60 @ Res. Thou hast seen all their fury, and all their thoughts against me.

dourh@Lamentations:3:61 @ Sin. Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, all their imaginations against me.

dourh@Lamentations:3:62 @ Sin. The lips of them that rise up against me: and their devices against me all the day.

dourh@Lamentations:3:63 @ Sin. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up, I am their song.

dourh@Lamentations:3:64 @ Thau. Thou shalt render them a recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands.

dourh@Lamentations:3:65 @ Thau. Thou shalt give them a buckler of heart, thy labour.

dourh@Lamentations:3:66 @ Thau. Thou shalt persecute them in anger, and shalt destroy them from under the heavens, O Lord.
