LAM-3:1 I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of
his wrath.
LAM-3:2 He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness, but not
[into] light.
LAM-3:3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand
[against me] all the day.
LAM-3:4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old: he hath broken my
bones.
LAM-3:5 He hath builded against me, and compassed [me] with gall
and travail.
LAM-3:6 He hath set me in dark places, as [they that be] dead of
old.
LAM-3:7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath
made my chain heavy.
LAM-3:8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
LAM-3:9 He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made
my paths crooked.
LAM-3:10 He [was] unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, [and as] a
lion in secret places.
LAM-3:11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces:
he hath made me desolate.
LAM-3:12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the
arrow.
LAM-3:13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into
my reins.
LAM-3:14 I was a derision to all my people; [and] their song all
the day.
LAM-3:15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me
drunken with wormwood.
LAM-3:16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he
hath covered me with ashes.
LAM-3:17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I
forgat prosperity.
LAM-3:18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from
the LORD:
LAM-3:19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood
and the gall.
LAM-3:20 My soul hath [them] still in remembrance, and is
humbled in me.
LAM-3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
LAM-3:22 [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.
LAM-3:23 [They are] new every morning: great [is] thy
faithfulness.
LAM-3:24 The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will
I hope in him.
LAM-3:25 The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the
soul [that] seeketh him.
LAM-3:26 [It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly
wait for the salvation of the LORD.
LAM-3:27 [It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his
youth.
LAM-3:28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath
borne [it] upon him.
LAM-3:29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be
hope.
LAM-3:30 He giveth [his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he is
filled full with reproach.
LAM-3:31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
LAM-3:32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion
according to the multitude of his mercies.
LAM-3:33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the
children of men.
LAM-3:34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
LAM-3:35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the
most High,
LAM-3:36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
LAM-3:37 Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when]
the Lord commandeth [it] not?
LAM-3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil
and good?
LAM-3:39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the
punishment of his sins?
LAM-3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the
LORD.
LAM-3:41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in
the heavens.
LAM-3:42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not
pardoned.
LAM-3:43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou
hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
LAM-3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our]
prayer should not pass through.
LAM-3:45 Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in
the midst of the people.
LAM-3:46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
LAM-3:47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and
destruction.
LAM-3:48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the
destruction of the daughter of my people.
LAM-3:49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any
intermission,
LAM-3:50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
LAM-3:51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the
daughters of my city.
LAM-3:52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
LAM-3:53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a
stone upon me.
LAM-3:54 Waters flowed over mine head; [then] I said, I am cut
off.
LAM-3:55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
LAM-3:56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my
breathing, at my cry.
LAM-3:57 Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee:
thou saidst, Fear not.
LAM-3:58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou
hast redeemed my life.
LAM-3:59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
LAM-3:60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance [and] all their
imaginations against me.
LAM-3:61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, [and] all their
imaginations against me;
LAM-3:62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their
device against me all the day.
LAM-3:63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I [am]
their music.
LAM-3:64 Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the
work of their hands.
LAM-3:65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
LAM-3:66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the
heavens of the LORD.
