Lamentations 3:26-47

26It is goodH2896 that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.

27It is goodH2896 for a manH1397 that he bearH5375 the yokeH5923 in his youthH5271.

28Let him sitH3427 aloneH910 and keep silence, becauseH3588 he hath laidH5190 it uponH5921 him.

29LetH5414 him putH5414 his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083; ifH194 soH5414 be there may he hopeH8615.

30LetH5414 him giveH5414 his cheekH3895 to him that smiteth him; letH5414 him be filledH7646 fullH7646 with reproachH2781.

31For the LordH136 will notH3808 cast off for everH5769.

32For thoughH3588 he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his mercies.

33For he doth notH3808 afflictH6031 willingly, norH3808 grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376.

34To crushH1792 underH8478 footH7272 allH3605 the prisonersH615 of the earthH776,

35To turnH5186 asideH5186 the rightH4941 of a manH1397 beforeH6440 the faceH6440 of the Most HighH5186,

36To subvertH5791 a manH120 in his causeH7379, the LordH136 approveth notH3808.

37Who is he that saith, and it cometh to passH1961, when the LordH136 commandeth it notH3808?

38OutH3318 of the mouthH6310 of the Most High cometh there notH3808 evilH7451 and goodH2896?

39Wherefore doth a livingH2416 manH120 complainH596, a manH120 for the punishment of his sinsH2399?

40Let usH7725 searchH2713 and try our waysH1870, and turnH7725 againH7725 to the LORDH3068.

41Let usH413 liftH5375 upH5375 our heartH3824 with our handsH3709 unto GodH410 in the heavensH8064.

42WeH5168 have transgressedH6586 and have rebelledH4784; thou hast notH3808 pardonedH5545.

43Thou hast covered with angerH639 and pursuedH7291 us; thou hast slainH2026, thou hast notH3808 pitied.

44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloudH6051, that our prayerH8605 should not passH5674 throughH5674.

45Thou hast madeH7760 usH7760 as the offscouring and refuseH3973 in the midstH7130 of the peoplesH5971.

46allH3605 our enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 wideH6475 againstH5921 usH5921.

47FearH6343 and the pitH6354 are comeH1961 uponH1961 us, devastationH7612 and destructionH7667.
