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