Lamentations 3:40-54

40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.

41Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto 1God in the heavens.

42We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

43Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.

44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.

45Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.

46All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.

47Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.

48Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people.

49Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

50till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens.

51Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

52They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird.

53They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me.

54Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
