Lamentations 3:48-54

48Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.

49My eyes will flow unceasingly, without relief,

50until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees.

51What I see brings grief to my soul because of all the women of my city.

52Those who were my enemies without cause hunted me like a bird.

53They tried to end my life in a pit and threw stones at me;

54the waters closed over my head, and I thought I was about to perish.
