bes@Lamentations:3:1 @ ALEPH. I am the man that sees poverty, through the rod of his wrath upon me.

bes@Lamentations:3:2 @ He has taken me, and led me away into darkness, and not into light.

bes@Lamentations:3:3 @ Nay, against me has he turned his hand all the day.

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

bes@Lamentations:3:5 @ BETH. He has built against me, and compassed my head, and (note:)Lit. laboured(:note) brought travail upon me.

bes@Lamentations:3:6 @ He has set me in dark places, as them that have long been dead.

bes@Lamentations:3:7 @ He has builded against me, and I cannot come forth: he has made my (note:)Gr. brass(:note) brazen chain heavy.

bes@Lamentations:3:8 @ GIMEL. Yea, though I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.

bes@Lamentations:3:9 @ DALETH. He has built up my ways, he has hedged my paths;

bes@Lamentations:3:10 @ he has troubled me, as a she-bear lying in wait: he is to me as a lion in secret places.

bes@Lamentations:3:11 @ He pursued me (note:)See Hebrew(:note) after I departed, and brought me to a stand: he has utterly ruined me.

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

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

bes@Lamentations:3:14 @ I became a laughing-stock to all my people; and their song all the day.

bes@Lamentations:3:15 @ VAU. He has filled me with bitterness, he has (note:)Lit. made me drunk(:note) drenched me with gall.

bes@Lamentations:3:16 @ And he has dashed out my teeth with gravel, he has fed me with ashes.

bes@Lamentations:3:17 @ He has also removed my soul from peace: I forgot prosperity.

bes@Lamentations:3:18 @ Therefore my success has perished, and my hope from the Lord.

bes@Lamentations:3:19 @ ZAIN. I remembered by reason of my poverty, and because of persecution my bitterness and gall shall be remembered;

bes@Lamentations:3:20 @ and my soul shall meditate with me.

bes@Lamentations:3:21 @ This will I (note:)Gr. commit to(:note) lay up in my heart, therefore I will endure.

bes@Lamentations:3:22 @ HETH. It is the mercies of the Lord, that he has not failed me, because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity us, O Lord, early every month: for we are not brought to an end, because his compassions are not exhausted.

bes@Lamentations:3:23 @ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

bes@Lamentations:3:24 @ The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for him.

bes@Lamentations:3:25 @ TETH. The Lord is good to them that wait for him: the soul which shall seek him

bes@Lamentations:3:26 @ is good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation of the Lord.

bes@Lamentations:3:27 @ TETH. It is good for a man when he bears a yoke in his youth.

bes@Lamentations:3:28 @ He will sit alone, and be silent, because he has borne it upon him.

bes@Lamentations:3:29" />

bes@Lamentations:3:30 @ JOD. He will give his cheek to him that smites him: he will be filled full with reproaches.

bes@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not reject for ever.

bes@Lamentations:3:32 @ CHAPH. For he that has brought down will pity, and that according to the abundance of his mercy.

bes@Lamentations:3:33 @ He has not answered in anger from his heart, though he has brought low the children of a man.

bes@Lamentations:3:34 @ LAMED. To bring down under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

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

bes@Lamentations:3:36 @ to condemn a man unjustly in his judgement, the Lord has not given commandment.

bes@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who has thus spoken, and it has come to pass? the Lord has not commanded it.

bes@Lamentations:3:38 @ Out of the mouth of the Most High there shall not come forth evil and good.

bes@Lamentations:3:39 @ MEM. Why should a living man complain, a man concerning his sin?

bes@Lamentations:3:40 @ NUN. Our way has been searched out and examined, and we will turn to the Lord.

bes@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our hearts (note:)Gr. on(:note) with our hand to the lofty One in heaven.

bes@Lamentations:3:42 @ We have sinned, we have transgressed; and thou hast not (note:)Or, been propitious(:note) pardoned.

bes@Lamentations:3:43 @ SAMECH. Thou has visited us in wrath, and driven us away: thou has slain, thou has not pitied.

bes@Lamentations:3:44 @ Thou hast veiled thyself with a cloud because of prayer, (note:)See use of kammuw in Isa strkjv@29:10(:note) that I might be blind,

bes@Lamentations:3:45 @ and be cast off. AIN. Thou hast set us alone in the midst of the nations.

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

bes@Lamentations:3:47 @ Fear and wrath are come upon us, (note:)Gr. lifting up; See Lu strkjv@12:29(:note) suspense and destruction.

bes@Lamentations:3:48 @ Mine eye shall pour down torrents of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

bes@Lamentations:3:49 @ PHE. Mine eye is drowned with tears, and I will not be silent, so that there shall be no rest,

bes@Lamentations:3:50 @ until the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.

bes@Lamentations:3:51 @ Mine eye shall (note:)Gr. gather(:note) prey upon my soul, because of all the daughters of the city.

bes@Lamentations:3:52 @ TSADE. The fowlers chased me as a sparrow, (note:)Hebrews. and Alex.—all(:note) all mine enemies destroyed my life in a pit without cause,

bes@Lamentations:3:53 @ and laid a stone upon me.

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

bes@Lamentations:3:55 @ KOPH. I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon.

bes@Lamentations:3:56 @ Thou heardest my voice: close not thine ears to my supplication.

bes@Lamentations:3:57 @ Thou drewest nigh to my help: in the day wherein I called upon thee thou saidst to me, Fear not.

bes@Lamentations:3:58 @ RECHS. O Lord, thou has pleaded the causes of my soul; thou has redeemed my life.

bes@Lamentations:3:59 @ Thou hast seen, O Lord, my troubles: thou hast judged my cause.

bes@Lamentations:3:60 @ Thou hast seen all their vengeance, thou hast looked on all their devices against me.

bes@Lamentations:3:61 @ CHSEN. Thou hast heard their reproach and all their devices against me;

bes@Lamentations:3:62 @ the lips of them that rose up against me, and their plots against me all the day;

bes@Lamentations:3:63 @ their sitting down and their rising up: look thou upon their eyes.

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

bes@Lamentations:3:65 @ THAU. Thou wilt give them as (note:)q. d. callousness(:note) a covering, the grief of my heart.

bes@Lamentations:3:66 @ Thou wilt persecute them in anger, and wilt consume them from under the heaven, O Lord.
