Lamentations 3:1
|
|
I am the man that hath seen affliction by the
rod of his wrath. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:2
|
|
He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness,
and not in light. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:3
|
|
Surely against me he turneth his hand again
and again all the day. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:4
|
|
My
flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:5
|
|
He hath builded against me, and compassed me
with gall and travail. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:6
|
|
He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as
those that have been long dead. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:7
|
|
He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth;
he hath made my chain heavy. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:8
|
|
Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shutteth
out my prayer. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:9
|
|
He hath walled up my ways with hewn stone; he
hath made my paths crooked. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:10
|
|
He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a
lion in secret places. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:11
|
|
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me
in pieces; he hath made me desolate. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:12
|
|
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for
the arrow. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:13
|
|
He hath caused the shafts of his quiver to enter
into my reins. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:14
|
|
I am become a derision to all my people, and
their song all the day. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:15
|
|
He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated
me with wormwood. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:16
|
|
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones;
he hath covered me with ashes. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:17
|
|
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace;
I forgat prosperity. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:18
|
|
And I said, My strength is perished, and mine
expectation from Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:19
|
|
Remember mine affliction and my misery, the
wormwood and the gall. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:20
|
|
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and
is bowed down within me. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:21
|
|
This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope.
|
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:22
|
|
It is of Jehovah's lovingkindnesses that we
are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:23
|
|
They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
|
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:24
|
|
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore
will I hope in him. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:25
|
|
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him,
to the soul that seeketh him. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:26
|
|
It is good that a man should hope and quietly
wait for the salvation of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:27
|
|
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in
his youth. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:28
|
|
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because
he hath laid it upon him. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:29
|
|
Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be
there may be hope. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:30
|
|
Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him;
let him be filled full with reproach. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:31
|
|
For the Lord will not cast off for ever. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:32
|
|
For though he cause grief, yet will he have
compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:33
|
|
For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve
the children of men. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:34
|
|
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the
earth, |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:35
|
|
To turn aside the right of a man before the
face of the Most High, |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:36
|
|
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth
not. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:37
|
|
Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass,
when the Lord commandeth it not? |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:38
|
|
Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there
not evil and good? |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:39
|
|
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man
for the punishment of his sins? |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:40
|
|
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again
to Jehovah. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:41
|
|
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto
God in the heavens. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:42
|
|
We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou
hast not pardoned. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:43
|
|
Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us;
thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:44
|
|
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, so that
no prayer can pass through. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:45
|
|
Thou hast made us an off-scouring and refuse
in the midst of the peoples. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:46
|
|
All our enemies have opened their mouth wide
against us. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:47
|
|
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation
and destruction. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:48
|
|
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water,
for the destruction of the daughter of my people. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:49
|
|
Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without
any intermission, |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:50
|
|
Till Jehovah look down, and behold from heaven.
|
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:51
|
|
Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the
daughters of my city. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:52
|
|
They have chased me sore like a bird, they
that are mine enemies without cause. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:53
|
|
They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and
have cast a stone upon me. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:54
|
|
Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut
off. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:55
|
|
I called upon thy name, O Jehovah, out of the
lowest dungeon. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:56
|
|
Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at
my breathing, at my cry. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:57
|
|
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon
thee; thou saidst, Fear not. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:58
|
|
O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my
soul; thou hast redeemed my life. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:59
|
|
O Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou
my cause. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:60
|
|
Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their
devices against me. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:61
|
|
Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and
all their devices against me, |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:62
|
|
The lips of those that rose up against me, and
their device against me all the day. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:63
|
|
Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising
up; I am their song. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:64
|
|
Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O Jehovah,
according to the work of their hands. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:65
|
|
Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse
unto them. |
|
|
|
Lamentations 3:66
|
|
Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy
them from under the heavens of Jehovah. |
