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