Lamentations 3:40-47

40Let us look closely at our ways and examine them and then return to the Lord.

41Let us raise our hearts and hands to God in heaven.

42“We have been disobedient and rebellious. You haven’t forgiven us.

43You covered yourself with anger and pursued us. You killed without pity.

44You covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer could get through it.

45You made us the scum and trash of the nations.

46All our enemies gawk at us.

47Panic and pitfalls have found us, so have devastation and destruction.
