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. |
| |
|
