Lamentations 3:40-47

40Let us test and examine our ways, And let us return to the Lord.

41Let us lift up our hearts and our hands [in prayer] Toward God in heaven;

42We have transgressed and rebelled, You have not pardoned.

43You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain [without pity] and have not spared.

44You have covered Yourself with a cloud So that no prayer can pass through.

45You have made us scum and refuse Among the peoples (Gentile nations).

46All our enemies have gaped at us.

47Panic and pitfall (traps, danger) have come on us, Devastation and destruction.
