Lamentations 1:12

ל (Lamed)

1:12 Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by on the road?

Look and see!

Is there any pain like mine?

The Lord has afflicted me,

he has inflicted it on me

when he burned with anger.

Lamentations 3:37

מ (Mem)

3:37 Whose command was ever fulfilled

unless the Lord decreed it?

Lamentations 3:29

3:29 Let him bury his face in the dust;

perhaps there is hope.

Lamentations 2:22

ת (Tav)

2:22 As if it were a feast day, you call

enemies to terrify me on every side.

On the day of the Lord’s anger

no one escaped or survived.

My enemy has finished off

those healthy infants whom I bore and raised.

Lamentations 3:52

צ (Tsade)

3:52 For no good reason my enemies

hunted me down like a bird.

Lamentations 4:19

4:19 Those who pursued us were swifter

than eagles in the sky.

They chased us over the mountains;

they ambushed us in the wilderness.

Lamentations 2:6

ו (Vav)

2:6 He destroyed his temple as if it were a vineyard;

he destroyed his appointed meeting place.

The Lord has made those in Zion forget

both the festivals and the Sabbaths.

In his fierce anger he has spurned

both king and priest.

Lamentations 3:32

3:32 Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us

according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.

Lamentations 4:14

נ (Nun)

4:14 They wander blindly through the streets,

defiled by the blood they shed,

while no one dares

to touch their garments.

Lamentations 5:9

5:9 At the risk of our lives we get our food

because robbers lurk in the countryside.

Lamentations 2:7

ז (Zayin)

2:7 The Lord rejected his altar

and abhorred his temple.

He handed over to the enemy

her palace walls;

the enemy shouted in the Lord’s temple

as if it were a feast day.
