Lamentations 3




noyes@Lamentations:3:1 @ I am the man that hath seen affliction under the rod of His wrath;

noyes@Lamentations:3:2 @ He hath led me and brought me into darkness, and not into light;

noyes@Lamentations:3:3 @ Yea, against me doth he again and again turn his hand all the day long.

noyes@Lamentations:3:4 @ My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

noyes@Lamentations:3:5 @ He hath builded against me, and encompassed me with bitterness and woe.

noyes@Lamentations:3:6 @ He hath set me in dark places, as those that have long been dead.

noyes@Lamentations:3:7 @ He hath hedged me about, so that I cannot get out; he hath made my chain heavy;

noyes@Lamentations:3:8 @ Yea, when I cry and call aloud, he shutteth out my prayer.

noyes@Lamentations:3:9 @ He blocketh up my way with hewn stone; he maketh my paths crooked.

noyes@Lamentations:3:10 @ A bear lying in wait hath he been to me, a lion in lurking–places.

noyes@Lamentations:3:11 @ He hath turned aside my ways, and torn me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.

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

noyes@Lamentations:3:13 @ He hath caused the sons of his quiver to pierce my reins.

noyes@Lamentations:3:14 @ I have been a laughing–stock to all my people, their song all the day.

noyes@Lamentations:3:15 @ He hath filled me with bitterness; he hath made me drunk with wormwood.

noyes@Lamentations:3:16 @ He hath also broken my teeth with gravel–stones; He hath covered me with ashes.

noyes@Lamentations:3:17 @ Yea, thou hast removed my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity.

noyes@Lamentations:3:18 @ And I say, "My confidence and my hope in Jehovah are gone!"

noyes@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall!

noyes@Lamentations:3:20 @ Yea, thou wilt remember them, for my soul sinketh within me!

noyes@Lamentations:3:21 @ This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope;

noyes@Lamentations:3:22 @ It is of the mercy of Jehovah that we are not consumed; yea, his compassion faileth not;

noyes@Lamentations:3:23 @ It is new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.

noyes@Lamentations:3:24 @ Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul, therefore do I hope in him.

noyes@Lamentations:3:25 @ Jehovah is good to them that trust in him, to the soul that seeketh him.

noyes@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that a man hope, and quietly wait for salvation from Jehovah.

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

noyes@Lamentations:3:28 @ That he sit alone and keep silence, since He layeth it upon him;

noyes@Lamentations:3:29 @ That he put his mouth in the dust, "Perhaps there may be hope!"

noyes@Lamentations:3:30 @ That he offer his cheek to the smiter; that he be filled with reproach.

noyes@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not cast off forever;

noyes@Lamentations:3:32 @ For though he cause grief, yet doth he have compassion according to his great mercy;

noyes@Lamentations:3:33 @ For he doth not willingly afflict and grieve the children of men.

noyes@Lamentations:3:34 @ Doth one trample under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

noyes@Lamentations:3:35 @ Doth he bend the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

noyes@Lamentations:3:36 @ Doth he subvert a man in his cause, and shall not the Lord behold it?

noyes@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord hath not commanded?

noyes@Lamentations:3:38 @ Cometh not evil, as well as good, from the mouth of the Most High?

noyes@Lamentations:3:39 @ Wherefore then murmureth the living man? Let him murmur at his own sin!

noyes@Lamentations:3:40 @ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah!

noyes@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens!

noyes@Lamentations:3:42 @ We have transgressed; we have rebelled; thou hast not forgiven!

noyes@Lamentations:3:43 @ Thou hast hidden thyself in anger, and hast pursued us; thou hast slain and hast not spared;

noyes@Lamentations:3:44 @ Thou hast hidden thyself in a cloud, that our prayer may not pass through;

noyes@Lamentations:3:45 @ Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the nations.

noyes@Lamentations:3:46 @ All our enemies have opened their mouths against us;

noyes@Lamentations:3:47 @ Terror and the pit have come upon us, desolation and destruction;

noyes@Lamentations:3:48 @ Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

noyes@Lamentations:3:49 @ Mine eye trickleth down and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

noyes@Lamentations:3:50 @ Until Jehovah look down and behold from heaven.

noyes@Lamentations:3:51 @ Mine eye is painful to me on account of all the daughters of my city.

noyes@Lamentations:3:52 @ They that are my enemies without cause hunt me down like a bird;

noyes@Lamentations:3:53 @ They take away my life in the dungeon; they cast a stone upon me;

noyes@Lamentations:3:54 @ Waters flow over my head; I say, "I am undone!"

noyes@Lamentations:3:55 @ I call upon thy name, O Jehovah, from the deep dungeon;

noyes@Lamentations:3:56 @ Hear thou my voice! hide not thine ear from my cry for relief!

noyes@Lamentations:3:57 @ Be near to me, when I call upon thee! Say, "Fear not!"

noyes@Lamentations:3:58 @ Thou maintainest my cause, O Lord; thou redeemest my life!

noyes@Lamentations:3:59 @ Thou, O Jehovah, seest the wrong done to me; Maintain thou my cause!

noyes@Lamentations:3:60 @ Thou seest all their vengeance, all their devices against me.

noyes@Lamentations:3:61 @ Thou hearest their reproach, O Jehovah, all their devices against me,

noyes@Lamentations:3:62 @ The words of my adversaries, and their machinations against me all the day long!

noyes@Lamentations:3:63 @ Behold their sitting down and their rising up! I am their song.

noyes@Lamentations:3:64 @ Render to them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands!

noyes@Lamentations:3:65 @ Give them blindness of mind! thy curse be upon them!

noyes@Lamentations:3:66 @ Pursue them in thine anger, and destroy them from under Jehovah’s heaven!
