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