Lamentations 3




updv@Lamentations:3:1 @ I am the [noble] man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

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

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

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:7 @ He has walled me about, that I can't go forth; he has made my chain heavy.

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

updv@Lamentations:3:9 @ He has walled up my ways with cut stone; he has made my paths crooked.

updv@Lamentations:3:10 @ He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:14 @ I have become a derision for my whole nation, and their song all the day.

updv@Lamentations:3:15 @ He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood.

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

updv@Lamentations:3:17 @ And you have removed my soul far off from peace; I forgot prosperity.

updv@Lamentations:3:18 @ And I said, My strength has perished, and my expectation from Yahweh.

updv@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:23 @ They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

updv@Lamentations:3:24 @ Yahweh is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in him.

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:28 @ Let him sit alone and keep silent, because he has laid it on him.

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

updv@Lamentations:3:30 @ Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled full with reproach.

updv@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not cast off forever.

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

updv@Lamentations:3:33 @ For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of a man.

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

updv@Lamentations:3:35 @ To turn aside the right of a [noble] man before the face of the Most High,

updv@Lamentations:3:36 @ To subvert man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why does man complain, a living [noble] man for the punishment of his sins?

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:42 @ We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.

updv@Lamentations:3:43 @ You have covered with anger and pursued us; you have slain, you have not pitied.

updv@Lamentations:3:44 @ You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

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

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

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:50 @ Until Yahweh looks down, and beholds from heaven.

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

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

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

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

updv@Lamentations:3:55 @ I called on your name, O Yahweh, out of the lowest dungeon.

updv@Lamentations:3:56 @ You heard my voice; don't hide your ear at my breathing, at my cry.

updv@Lamentations:3:57 @ You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, Don't be afraid.

updv@Lamentations:3:58 @ O Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.

updv@Lamentations:3:59 @ O Yahweh, you have seen my wrong; judge my cause.

updv@Lamentations:3:60 @ You have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.

updv@Lamentations:3:61 @ You have heard their reproach, O Yahweh, and all their devices against me,

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

updv@Lamentations:3:63 @ Look at their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.

updv@Lamentations:3:64 @ You will render to them a recompense, O Yahweh, according to the work of their hands.

updv@Lamentations:3:65 @ You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.

updv@Lamentations:3:66 @ You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Yahweh.
