rsv@Lamentations:3:17 @ my soul is bereft of peace, I have forgotten what happiness is;
rsv@Lamentations:3:18 @ so I say, "Gone is my glory, and my expectation from the LORD."
rsv@Lamentations:3:19 @ Remember my affliction and my bitterness, the wormwood and the gall!
rsv@Lamentations:3:20 @ My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me.
rsv@Lamentations:3:21 @ But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
rsv@Lamentations:3:22 @ The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
rsv@Lamentations:3:23 @ they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
rsv@Lamentations:3:24 @ "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
rsv@Lamentations:3:25 @ The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
rsv@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
rsv@Lamentations:3:27 @ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
rsv@Lamentations:3:28 @ Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him;
rsv@Lamentations:3:29 @ let him put his mouth in the dust-- there may yet be hope;
rsv@Lamentations:3:30 @ let him give his cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults.
rsv@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not cast off for ever,
rsv@Lamentations:3:32 @ but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
rsv@Lamentations:3:33 @ for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
rsv@Lamentations:3:34 @ To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
rsv@Lamentations:3:35 @ to turn aside the right of a man in the presence of the Most High,
rsv@Lamentations:3:36 @ to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
rsv@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who has commanded and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
rsv@Lamentations:3:38 @ Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and evil come?
rsv@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins?
rsv@Lamentations:3:40 @ Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD!
rsv@Lamentations:3:41 @ Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
rsv@Lamentations:3:42 @ "We have transgressed and rebelled, and thou hast not forgiven.
rsv@Lamentations:3:43 @ "Thou hast wrapped thyself with anger and pursued us, slaying without pity;
rsv@Lamentations:3:44 @ thou hast wrapped thyself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through.
rsv@Lamentations:3:45 @ Thou hast made us offscouring and refuse among the peoples.
rsv@Lamentations:3:46 @ "All our enemies rail against us;
rsv@Lamentations:3:47 @ panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and destruction;
rsv@Lamentations:3:48 @ my eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
rsv@Lamentations:3:49 @ "My eyes will flow without ceasing, without respite,
rsv@Lamentations:3:50 @ until the LORD from heaven looks down and sees;
rsv@Lamentations:3:51 @ my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the maidens of my city.
rsv@Lamentations:3:52 @ "I have been hunted like a bird by those who were my enemies without cause;
rsv@Lamentations:3:53 @ they flung me alive into the pit and cast stones on me;
rsv@Lamentations:3:54 @ water closed over my head; I said, `said, "I am lost.'
rsv@Lamentations:3:55 @ "I called on thy name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit;
rsv@Lamentations:3:56 @ thou didst hear my plea, `ot close thine ear to my cry for help!'
rsv@Lamentations:3:57 @ Thou didst come near when I called on thee; thou didst say, `b

rsv@Lamentations:3:59 @ Thou hast seen the wrong done to me, O LORD; judge thou my cause.
rsv@Lamentations:3:60 @ Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their devices against me.
rsv@Lamentations:3:61 @ "Thou hast heard their taunts, O LORD, all their devices against me.
rsv@Lamentations:3:62 @ The lips and thoughts of my assailants are against me all the day long.

rsv@Lamentations:4:1 @ How the gold has grown dim, how the pure gold is changed! The holy stones lie scattered at the head of every street.
rsv@Lamentations:4:2 @ The precious sons of Zion, worth their weight in fine gold, how they are reckoned as earthen pots, the work of a potter's hands!
rsv@Lamentations:4:3 @ Even the jackals give the breast and suckle their young, but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
rsv@Lamentations:4:4 @ The tongue of the nursling cleaves to the roof of its mouth for thirst; the children beg for food, but no one gives to them.
rsv@Lamentations:4:5 @ Those who feasted on dainties perish in the streets; those who were brought up in purple lie on ash heaps.
rsv@Lamentations:4:6 @ For the chastisement of the daughter of my people has been greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, no hand being laid on it.
rsv@Lamentations:4:7 @ Her princes were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than coral, the beauty of their form was like sapphire.
rsv@Lamentations:4:8 @ Now their visage is blacker than soot, they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled upon their bones, it has become as dry as wood.
rsv@Lamentations:4:9 @ Happier were the victims of the sword than the victims of hunger, who pined away, stricken by want of the fruits of the field.
rsv@Lamentations:4:10 @ The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
rsv@Lamentations:4:11 @ The LORD gave full vent to his wrath, he poured out his hot anger; and he kindled a fire in Zion, which consumed its foundations.
rsv@Lamentations:4:12 @ The kings of the earth did not believe, or any of the inhabitants of the world, that foe or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
rsv@Lamentations:4:13 @ This was for the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous.
rsv@Lamentations:4:14 @ They wandered, blind, through the streets, so defiled with blood that none could touch their garments.
rsv@Lamentations:4:15 @ "Away! Unclean!" men cried at them; "Away! Away! Touch not!" So they became fugitives and wanderers; men said among the nations, "They shall stay with us no longer."
rsv@Lamentations:4:16 @ The LORD himself has scattered them, he will regard them no more; no honor was shown to the priests, no favor to the elders.
rsv@Lamentations:4:17 @ Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; in our watching we watched for a nation which could not save.
rsv@Lamentations:4:18 @ Men dogged our steps so that we could not walk in our streets; our end drew near; our days were numbered; for our end had come.
rsv@Lamentations:4:19 @ Our pursuers were swifter than the vultures in the heavens; they chased us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
rsv@Lamentations:4:20 @ The breath of our nostrils, the LORD's anointed, was taken in their pits, he of whom we said, "Under his shadow we shall live among the nations."
rsv@Lamentations:4:21 @ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, dweller in the land of Uz; but to you also the cup shall pass; you shall become drunk and strip yourself bare.
rsv@Lamentations:4:22 @ The punishment of your iniquity, O daughter of Zion, is accomplished, he will keep you in exile no longer; but your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he will punish, he will uncover your sins.
rsv@Lamentations:5:1 @ Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; behold, and see our disgrace!
rsv@Lamentations:5:2 @ Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to aliens.
