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 brought me into darkness, but not into light.
   
Lamentations 3:3
  Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me 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 set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
   
Lamentations 3:7
  He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
   
Lamentations 3:8
  Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
   
Lamentations 3:9
  He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
   
Lamentations 3:10
  He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and 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 arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
   
Lamentations 3:14
  I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
   
Lamentations 3:15
  He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken 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 and my hope is perished from the LORD:
   
Lamentations 3:19
  Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
   
Lamentations 3:20
  My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
   
Lamentations 3:21
  This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
   
Lamentations 3:22
  It is of the LORD's mercies 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
  The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
   
Lamentations 3:25
  The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
   
Lamentations 3:26
  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
   
Lamentations 3:27
  It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
   
Lamentations 3:28
  He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
   
Lamentations 3:29
  He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
   
Lamentations 3:30
  He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
   
Lamentations 3:31
  For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
   
Lamentations 3:32
  But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
   
Lamentations 3:33
  For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
   
Lamentations 3:34
  To crush under his feet 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 proceedeth 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 the LORD.
   
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 persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
   
Lamentations 3:44
  Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
   
Lamentations 3:45
  Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
   
Lamentations 3:46
  All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
   
Lamentations 3:47
  Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
   
Lamentations 3:48
  Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
   
Lamentations 3:49
  Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
   
Lamentations 3:50
  Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
   
Lamentations 3:51
  Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
   
Lamentations 3:52
  Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
   
Lamentations 3:53
  They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
   
Lamentations 3:54
  Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
   
Lamentations 3:55
  I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
   
Lamentations 3:56
  Thou hast heard 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 LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
   
Lamentations 3:60
  Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
   
Lamentations 3:61
  Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations 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 their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
   
Lamentations 3:64
  Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
   
Lamentations 3:65
  Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
   
Lamentations 3:66
  Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
