acv@Lamentations:3:1 @ I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

acv@Lamentations:3:2 @ He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.

acv@Lamentations:3:3 @ Surely he turns his hand against me, again and again all the day.

acv@Lamentations:3:4 @ He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.

acv@Lamentations:3:5 @ He has built against me, and encompassed me with gall and travail.

acv@Lamentations:3:6 @ He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those who have long been dead.

acv@Lamentations:3:7 @ He has walled me around, that I cannot go forth. He has made my chain heavy.

acv@Lamentations:3:8 @ Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

acv@Lamentations:3:9 @ He has walled up my ways with hewn stone. He has made my paths crooked.

acv@Lamentations:3:10 @ He is to me as a bear laying in wait, as a lion in concealed places.

acv@Lamentations:3:11 @ He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.

acv@Lamentations:3:12 @ He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

acv@Lamentations:3:13 @ He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.

acv@Lamentations:3:14 @ I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.

acv@Lamentations:3:15 @ He has filled me with bitterness. He has sated me with wormwood.

acv@Lamentations:3:16 @ He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones. He has covered me with ashes.

acv@Lamentations:3:17 @ And thou have removed my soul far off from peace. I forgot prosperity.

acv@Lamentations:3:18 @ And I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from LORD.

acv@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

acv@Lamentations:3:20 @ My soul still has them in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.

acv@Lamentations:3:21 @ This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope:

acv@Lamentations:3:22 @ [It is of] LORD's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail.

acv@Lamentations:3:23 @ They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness.

acv@Lamentations:3:24 @ LORD is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him.

acv@Lamentations:3:25 @ LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

acv@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of LORD.

acv@Lamentations:3:27 @ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

acv@Lamentations:3:28 @ Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it upon him.

acv@Lamentations:3:29 @ Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

acv@Lamentations:3:30 @ Let him give his cheek to him who smites him. Let him be filled full with reproach.

acv@Lamentations:3:31 @ For LORD will not cast off forever.

acv@Lamentations:3:32 @ For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

acv@Lamentations:3:33 @ For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of men.

acv@Lamentations:3:34 @ To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

acv@Lamentations:3:35 @ to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

acv@Lamentations:3:36 @ to subvert a man in his cause, LORD does not approve.

acv@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when LORD does not command it?

acv@Lamentations:3:38 @ Out of the mouth of the Most High does there not come evil and good.

acv@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

acv@Lamentations:3:40 @ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to LORD.

acv@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

acv@Lamentations:3:42 @ We have transgressed and have rebelled. Thou have not pardoned.

acv@Lamentations:3:43 @ Thou have covered with anger and pursued us. Thou have slain; thou have not pitied.

acv@Lamentations:3:44 @ Thou have covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

acv@Lamentations:3:45 @ Thou have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.

acv@Lamentations:3:46 @ All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.

acv@Lamentations:3:47 @ Fear and the pit have come upon us, devastation and destruction.

acv@Lamentations:3:48 @ My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

acv@Lamentations:3:49 @ My eye pours down, and does not cease, without any intermission,

acv@Lamentations:3:50 @ till LORD looks down, and beholds from heaven.

acv@Lamentations:3:51 @ My eye stirs my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

acv@Lamentations:3:52 @ They have chased me grievously like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

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

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

acv@Lamentations:3:55 @ I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.

acv@Lamentations:3:56 @ Thou heard my voice. Hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

acv@Lamentations:3:57 @ Thou drew near in the day that I called upon thee. Thou said, Fear not.

acv@Lamentations:3:58 @ O LORD, thou have pleaded the causes of my soul. Thou have redeemed my life.

acv@Lamentations:3:59 @ O LORD, thou have seen my wrong. Judge thou my cause.

acv@Lamentations:3:60 @ Thou have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.

acv@Lamentations:3:61 @ Thou have heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their devices against me,

acv@Lamentations:3:62 @ the lips of those who rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

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

acv@Lamentations:3:64 @ Thou will render to them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

acv@Lamentations:3:65 @ Thou will give them hardness of heart, thy curse to them.

acv@Lamentations:3:66 @ Thou will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of LORD.
