Lamentations 3:40-54

40Let us searchH2713 and try our waysH1870, and turnH7725 again to Jehovah.41Let us liftH5375 up our heartH3824 with our handsH3709 unto GodH410 in the heavensH8064.42We have transgressedH6586 and have rebelledH4784; thou hast not pardoned.43Thou hast covered with angerH639 and pursuedH7291 us; thou hast slainH2026, thou hast not pitied.44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloudH6051, so that no prayerH8605 can passH5674 through.45Thou hast madeH7760 us an offscouring and refuse in the midstH7130 of the peoplesH5971.46All our enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wide against us.47FearH6343 and the pitH6354 areH1961 come upon us, devastation and destructionH7667.48Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with streamsH6388 of waterH4325, for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.49Mine eyeH5869 poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,50Till Jehovah lookH7200 down, and behold from heavenH8064.51Mine eyeH5869 affecteth my soulH5315, because of all the daughtersH1323 of my cityH5892.52They have chased me sore like a birdH6833, they that are mine enemiesH341 without causeH2600.53They have cut off my lifeH2416 in the dungeon, and have cast a stoneH68 upon me.54WatersH4325 flowed over my headH7218; I saidH559, I am cutH1504 off.
