ylt - Lamentations:3-5

ylt@Lamentations:3:1 @I [am] the man [who] hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.

ylt@Lamentations:3:2 @Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without light.

ylt@Lamentations:3:3 @Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.

ylt@Lamentations:3:4 @He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.

ylt@Lamentations:3:5 @He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.

ylt@Lamentations:3:6 @In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.

ylt@Lamentations:3:7 @He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

ylt@Lamentations:3:8 @Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.

ylt@Lamentations:3:9 @He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.

ylt@Lamentations:3:10 @A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.

ylt@Lamentations:3:11 @My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.

ylt@Lamentations:3:12 @He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.

ylt@Lamentations:3:13 @He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.

ylt@Lamentations:3:14 @I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.

ylt@Lamentations:3:15 @He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.

ylt@Lamentations:3:16 @And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.

ylt@Lamentations:3:17 @And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.

ylt@Lamentations:3:18 @And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.

ylt@Lamentations:3:19 @Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!

ylt@Lamentations:3:20 @Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.

ylt@Lamentations:3:21 @This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope.

ylt@Lamentations:3:22 @The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies.

ylt@Lamentations:3:23 @New every morning, abundant [is] thy faithfulness.

ylt@Lamentations:3:24 @My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.

ylt@Lamentations:3:25 @Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul [that] seeketh Him.

ylt@Lamentations:3:26 @Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation of Jehovah.

ylt@Lamentations:3:27 @Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth.

ylt@Lamentations:3:28 @He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.

ylt@Lamentations:3:29 @He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.

ylt@Lamentations:3:30 @He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.

ylt@Lamentations:3:31 @For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.

ylt@Lamentations:3:32 @For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.

ylt@Lamentations:3:33 @For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

ylt@Lamentations:3:34 @To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth,

ylt@Lamentations:3:35 @To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,

ylt@Lamentations:3:36 @To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.

ylt@Lamentations:3:37 @Who [is] this -- he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord hath not commanded [it]?

ylt@Lamentations:3:38 @From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and the good.

ylt@Lamentations:3:39 @What -- sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?

ylt@Lamentations:3:40 @We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.

ylt@Lamentations:3:41 @We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.

ylt@Lamentations:3:42 @We -- we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou -- Thou hast not forgiven.

ylt@Lamentations:3:43 @Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain -- Thou hast not pitied.

ylt@Lamentations:3:44 @Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.

ylt@Lamentations:3:45 @Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of the peoples.

ylt@Lamentations:3:46 @Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies.

ylt@Lamentations:3:47 @Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and destruction.

ylt@Lamentations:3:48 @Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.

ylt@Lamentations:3:49 @Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without intermission,

ylt@Lamentations:3:50 @Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens,

ylt@Lamentations:3:51 @My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of my city.

ylt@Lamentations:3:52 @Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause.

ylt@Lamentations:3:53 @They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone against me.

ylt@Lamentations:3:54 @Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.

ylt@Lamentations:3:55 @I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit.

ylt@Lamentations:3:56 @My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing -- at my cry.

ylt@Lamentations:3:57 @Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.

ylt@Lamentations:3:58 @Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou hast redeemed my life.

ylt@Lamentations:3:59 @Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my cause.

ylt@Lamentations:3:60 @Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of me.

ylt@Lamentations:3:61 @Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their thoughts against me,

ylt@Lamentations:3:62 @The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against me all the day.

ylt@Lamentations:3:63 @Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold attentively, I [am] their song.

ylt@Lamentations:3:64 @Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to the work of their hands.

ylt@Lamentations:3:65 @Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them.

ylt@Lamentations:3:66 @Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the heavens of Jehovah!

ylt@Lamentations:4:1 @How is the gold become dim, Changed the best -- the pure gold? Poured out are stones of the sanctuary At the head of all out-places.

ylt@Lamentations:4:2 @The precious sons of Zion, Who are comparable with fine gold, How have they been reckoned earthen bottles, Work of the hands of a potter.

ylt@Lamentations:4:3 @Even dragons have drawn out the breast, They have suckled their young ones, The daughter of my people is become cruel, Like the ostriches in a wilderness.

ylt@Lamentations:4:4 @Cleaved hath the tongue of a suckling unto his palate with thirst, Infants asked bread, a dealer out they have none.

ylt@Lamentations:4:5 @Those eating of dainties have been desolate in out-places, Those supported on scarlet have embraced dunghills.

ylt@Lamentations:4:6 @And greater is the iniquity of the daughter of my people, Than the sin of Sodom, That was overturned as [in] a moment, And no hands were stayed on her.

ylt@Lamentations:4:7 @Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk, ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form.

ylt@Lamentations:4:8 @Darker than blackness hath been their visage, They have not been known in out-places, Cleaved hath their skin unto their bone, It hath withered -- it hath been as wood.

ylt@Lamentations:4:9 @Better have been the pierced of a sword Than the pierced of famine, For these flow away, pierced through, Without the increase of the field.

ylt@Lamentations:4:10 @The hands of merciful women have boiled their own children, They have been for food to them, In the destruction of the daughter of my people.

ylt@Lamentations:4:11 @Completed hath Jehovah His fury, He hath poured out the fierceness of His anger, And he kindleth a fire in Zion, And it devoureth her foundations.

ylt@Lamentations:4:12 @Believe not did the kings of earth, And any of the inhabitants of the world, That come would an adversary and enemy Into the gates of Jerusalem.

ylt@Lamentations:4:13 @Because of the sins of her prophets, The iniquities of her priests, Who are shedding in her midst the blood of the righteous,

ylt@Lamentations:4:14 @They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been polluted with blood, Without [any] being able to touch their clothing,

ylt@Lamentations:4:15 @'Turn aside -- unclean,' they called to them, 'Turn aside, turn aside, touch not,' For they fled -- yea, they have wandered, They have said among nations: 'They do not add to sojourn.'

ylt@Lamentations:4:16 @The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured.

ylt@Lamentations:4:17 @While we exist -- consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation [that] saveth not.

ylt@Lamentations:4:18 @They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.

ylt@Lamentations:4:19 @Swifter have been our pursuers, Than the eagles of the heavens, On the mountains they have burned [after] us, In the wilderness they have laid wait for us.

ylt@Lamentations:4:20 @The breath of our nostrils -- the anointed of Jehovah, Hath been captured in their pits, of whom we said: 'In his shadow we do live among nations.'

ylt@Lamentations:4:21 @Joy and rejoice, O daughter of Edom, Dwelling in the land of Uz, Even unto thee pass over doth a cup, Thou art drunk, and makest thyself naked.

ylt@Lamentations:4:22 @Completed [is] thy iniquity, daughter of Zion, He doth not add to remove thee, He hath inspected thy iniquity, O daughter of Edom, He hath removed [thee] because of thy sins!

ylt@Lamentations:5:1 @Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.

ylt@Lamentations:5:2 @Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.

ylt@Lamentations:5:3 @Orphans we have been -- without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.

ylt@Lamentations:5:4 @Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.

ylt@Lamentations:5:5 @For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured -- there hath been no rest for us.

ylt@Lamentations:5:6 @[To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.

ylt@Lamentations:5:7 @Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities have borne.

ylt@Lamentations:5:8 @Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.

ylt@Lamentations:5:9 @With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

ylt@Lamentations:5:10 @Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.

ylt@Lamentations:5:11 @Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins -- in cities of Judah.

ylt@Lamentations:5:12 @Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.

ylt@Lamentations:5:13 @Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.

ylt@Lamentations:5:14 @The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.

ylt@Lamentations:5:15 @Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.

ylt@Lamentations:5:16 @Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Wo [is] now to us, for we have sinned.

ylt@Lamentations:5:17 @For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.

ylt@Lamentations:5:18 @For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.

ylt@Lamentations:5:19 @Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.

ylt@Lamentations:5:20 @Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!

ylt@Lamentations:5:21 @Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.

ylt@Lamentations:5:22 @For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us -- exceedingly?
