25_LAM_03_01 I [ am] the man [ that] hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
25_LAM_03_02 he hath led me, And brought [ me into] darkness, but not [ into] light.
25_LAM_03_03 surely against me Is he turned; he turneth his hand [ against me] all the day.
25_LAM_03_04 my flesh And my skin hath he made old: he hath broken my bones.
25_LAM_03_05 he hath builded against me, And compassed [ me] with gall And travail.
25_LAM_03_06 he hath set me in dark places, as [ they that be] dead of old.
25_LAM_03_07 he hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
25_LAM_03_08 also when I cry And shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
25_LAM_03_09 he hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
25_LAM_03_10 he [ was] unto me [ as] A bear lying in wait, [ And as] A lion in secret places.
25_LAM_03_11 he hath turned aside my ways, And pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
25_LAM_03_12 he hath bent his bow, And set me as A Mark for the arrow.
25_LAM_03_13 he hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
25_LAM_03_14 I was A derision to all my people; [ And] their song all the day.
25_LAM_03_15 he hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
25_LAM_03_16 he hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
25_LAM_03_17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
25_LAM_03_18 And I said, my strength And my hope Is perished from the LORD:
25_LAM_03_19 Remembering mine affliction And my misery, the wormwood And the gall.
25_LAM_03_20 my soul hath [ them] still in remembrance, And Is humbled in me.
25_LAM_03_21 this I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
25_LAM_03_22 [ it Is of] the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
25_LAM_03_23 [ they are] new every morning: great [ Is] thy faithfulness.
25_LAM_03_24 the LORD [ Is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25_LAM_03_25 the LORD [ Is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [ that] seeketh him.
25_LAM_03_26 [ it Is] good that [A man] should Both hope And quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
25_LAM_03_27 [ it Is] good for A man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
25_LAM_03_28 he sitteth alone And keepeth silence, because he hath borne [ it] upon him.
25_LAM_03_29 he putteth his mouth in the dust; if So be there may be hope.
25_LAM_03_30 he giveth [ his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he Is filled full with reproach.
25_LAM_03_31 for the LORD will not cast off for ever:
25_LAM_03_32 but though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
25_LAM_03_33 for he Doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
25_LAM_03_34 to crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
25_LAM_03_35 to turn aside the right of A man before the face of the most high,
25_LAM_03_36 to subvert A man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
25_LAM_03_37 who [ Is] he [ that] saith, And it cometh to pass, [ when] the LORD commandeth [ it] not?
25_LAM_03_38 out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not evil And good?
25_LAM_03_39 Wherefore Doth A living man complain, A man for the punishment of his sins?
25_LAM_03_40 let us search And try our ways, And turn again to the LORD.
25_LAM_03_41 let us lift up our heart with [ our] hands unto God in the heavens.
25_LAM_03_42 we have transgressed And have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
25_LAM_03_43 thou hast covered with anger, And persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
25_LAM_03_44 thou hast covered thyself with A cloud, that [ our] prayer should not pass through.
25_LAM_03_45 thou hast made us [ as] the offscouring And refuse in the midst of the people.
25_LAM_03_46 all our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
25_LAM_03_47 Fear And A snare Is come upon us, desolation And destruction.
25_LAM_03_48 mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
25_LAM_03_49 mine eye trickleth down, And ceaseth not, without any intermission,
25_LAM_03_50 till the LORD Look down, And behold from heaven.
25_LAM_03_51 mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
25_LAM_03_52 mine enemies chased me sore, like A bird, without cause.
25_LAM_03_53 they have cut off my life in the dungeon, And cast A stone upon me.
25_LAM_03_54 waters flowed over mine head; [ Then] I said, I am cut off.
25_LAM_03_55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
25_LAM_03_56 thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
25_LAM_03_57 thou drewest near in the day [ that] I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
25_LAM_03_58 O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
25_LAM_03_59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
25_LAM_03_60 thou hast seen all their vengeance [ And] all their imaginations against me.
25_LAM_03_61 thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, [ And] all their imaginations against me;
25_LAM_03_62 the lips of those that rose up against me, And their device against me all the day.
25_LAM_03_63 behold their sitting down, And their rising up; I [ am] their music.
25_LAM_03_64 render unto them A recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
25_LAM_03_65 give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
25_LAM_03_66 persecute And destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
