Lamentations 3:55-66

55I calledH7121 upon thy nameH8034, O YhwhH3068, out of the lowH8482 dungeonH953. 56Thou hast heardH8085 my voiceH6963: hideH5956 not thine earH241 at my breathingH7309, at my cryH7775. 57Thou drewest nearH7126 in the dayH3117 that I calledH7121 upon thee: thou saidstH559, FearH3372 not. 58O LordH136, thou hast pleadedH7378 the causesH7379 of my soulH5315; thou hast redeemedH1350 my lifeH2416. 59O YhwhH3068, thou hast seenH7200 my wrongH5792: judgeH8199 thou my causeH4941. 60Thou hast seenH7200 all their vengeanceH5360 and all their imaginationsH4284 against me. 61Thou hast heardH8085 their reproachH2781, O YhwhH3068, and all their imaginationsH4284 against me; 62The lipsH8193 of those that rose upH6965 against me, and their deviceH1902 against me all the dayH3117. 63BeholdH5027 their sitting downH3427, and their rising upH7012; I am their musickH4485.

64RenderH7725 unto them a recompenceH1576, O YhwhH3068, according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027. 65GiveH5414 them sorrowH4044 of heartH3820, thy curseH8381 unto them.1 66PersecuteH7291 and destroyH8045 them in angerH639 from under the heavensH8064 of YhwhH3068.
