Lamentations 3:40-54
40Let us searchH2664 and tryH2713 our waysH1870, and turn againH7725 to YhwhH3068.
41Let us lift upH5375 our heartH3824 with our handsH3709 unto GodH410 in the heavensH8064.
42WeH5168 have transgressedH6586 and have rebelledH4784: thou hast not pardonedH5545.
43Thou hast coveredH5526 with angerH639, and persecutedH7291 us: thou hast slainH2026, thou hast not pitiedH2550.
44Thou hast coveredH5526 thyself with a cloudH6051, that our prayerH8605 should not pass throughH5674.
45Thou hast madeH7760 us as the offscouringH5501 and refuseH3973 in the midstH7130 of the peopleH5971.
46All our enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 against us.
47FearH6343 and a snareH6354 is come upon us, desolationH7612 and destructionH7667.
48Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with riversH6388 of waterH4325 for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
49Mine eyeH5869 trickleth downH5064, and ceasethH1820 not, without any intermissionH2014,
50Till YhwhH3068 look downH8259, and beholdH7200 from heavenH8064.
51Mine eyeH5869 affectethH5953 mine heartH5315 because of all the daughtersH1323 of my cityH5892.12
52Mine enemiesH341 chasedH6679 me soreH6679, like a birdH6833, without causeH2600.
53They have cut offH6789 my lifeH2416 in the dungeonH953, and castH3034 a stoneH68 upon me.
54WatersH4325 flowed overH6687 mine headH7218; then I saidH559, I am cut offH1504.
