1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. DBY — Lamentations 3:1
2 Me hath he led, and brought into darkness, and not into light. DBY — Lamentations 3:2
3 Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day. DBY — Lamentations 3:3
4 My flesh and my skin hath he wasted away, he hath broken my bones. DBY — Lamentations 3:4
5 He hath built against me, and encompassed [me] with gall and toil. DBY — Lamentations 3:5
6 He hath made me to dwell in dark places as those that have been long dead. DBY — Lamentations 3:6
7 He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. DBY — Lamentations 3:7
8 Even when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. DBY — Lamentations 3:8
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. DBY — Lamentations 3:9
10 He is unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, a lion in secret places. DBY — Lamentations 3:10
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate. DBY — Lamentations 3:11
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. DBY — Lamentations 3:12
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. DBY — Lamentations 3:13
14 I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day. DBY — Lamentations 3:14
15 He hath sated me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk with wormwood. DBY — Lamentations 3:15
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. DBY — Lamentations 3:16
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I have forgotten prosperity. DBY — Lamentations 3:17
18 And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah. DBY — Lamentations 3:18
19 Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall. DBY — Lamentations 3:19
20 My soul hath [them] constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me. DBY — Lamentations 3:20
21 This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope. DBY — Lamentations 3:21
22 It is of Jehovah’s loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not; DBY — Lamentations 3:22
23 they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. DBY — Lamentations 3:23
24 Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. DBY — Lamentations 3:24
25 Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him. DBY — Lamentations 3:25
26 It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah. DBY — Lamentations 3:26
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth: DBY — Lamentations 3:27
28 He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him; DBY — Lamentations 3:28
29 he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope; DBY — Lamentations 3:29
30 he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach. DBY — Lamentations 3:30
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever; DBY — Lamentations 3:31
32 but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses: DBY — Lamentations 3:32
33 for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men. DBY — Lamentations 3:33
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth, DBY — Lamentations 3:34
35 to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High, DBY — Lamentations 3:35
36 to wrong a man in his cause, will not the Lord see it? DBY — Lamentations 3:36
37 Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded? DBY — Lamentations 3:37
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good? DBY — Lamentations 3:38
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? DBY — Lamentations 3:39
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah. DBY — Lamentations 3:40
41 Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens. DBY — Lamentations 3:41
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. DBY — Lamentations 3:42
43 Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared. DBY — Lamentations 3:43
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through. DBY — Lamentations 3:44
45 Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples. DBY — Lamentations 3:45
46 All our enemies have opened their mouth against us. DBY — Lamentations 3:46
47 Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin. DBY — Lamentations 3:47
48 Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people. DBY — Lamentations 3:48
49 Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission, DBY — Lamentations 3:49
50 till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens. DBY — Lamentations 3:50
51 Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city. DBY — Lamentations 3:51
52 They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird. DBY — Lamentations 3:52
53 They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me. DBY — Lamentations 3:53
54 Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off. DBY — Lamentations 3:54
55 I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit. DBY — Lamentations 3:55
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry. DBY — Lamentations 3:56
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not. DBY — Lamentations 3:57
58 Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul, thou hast redeemed my life. DBY — Lamentations 3:58
59 Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. DBY — Lamentations 3:59
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, all their imaginations against me. DBY — Lamentations 3:60
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, all their imaginations against me; DBY — Lamentations 3:61
62 the lips of those that rise up against me and their meditation against me all the day. DBY — Lamentations 3:62
63 Behold thou their sitting down and their rising up: I am their song. DBY — Lamentations 3:63
64 Render unto them a recompence, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands; DBY — Lamentations 3:64
65 give them obduracy of heart, thy curse unto them; DBY — Lamentations 3:65
66 pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah. DBY — Lamentations 3:66
