Lamentations 3:34-66

3:34

To crush
<01792> (8763)

under his feet
<07272>

all the prisoners
<0615>

of the earth
<0776>_,

3:35

To turn aside
<05186> (8687)

the right
<04941>

of a man
<01397>

before the face
<06440>

of the most High
<05945>_,

{the most High: or, a superior}

3:36

To subvert
<05791> (8763)

a man
<0120>

in his cause
<07379>_,

the Lord
<0136>

approveth
<07200> (8804)

not. {approveth not: or, seeth not}

3:37

Who [is] he [that] saith
<0559> (8804)_,

and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord
<0136>

commandeth
<06680> (8765)

[it] not?

3:38

Out of the mouth
<06310>

of the most High
<05945>

proceedeth
<03318> (8799)

not evil
<07451>

and good
<02896>_?

3:39

Wherefore doth a living
<02416>

man
<0120>

complain
<0596> (8691)_,

a man
<01397>

for the punishment of his sins
<02399>_?

{complain: or, murmur}

3:40

Let us search
<02664> (8799)

and try
<02713> (8799)

our ways
<01870>_,

and turn again
<07725> (8799)

to the LORD
<03068>_.

3:41

Let us lift up
<05375> (8799)

our heart
<03824>

with [our] hands
<03709>

unto God
<0410>

in the heavens
<08064>_.

3:42

We
<05168>

have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

and have rebelled
<04784> (8804)_:

thou hast not pardoned
<05545> (8804)_.

3:43

Thou hast covered
<05526> (8804)

with anger
<0639>_,

and persecuted
<07291> (8799)

us: thou hast slain
<02026> (8804)_,

thou hast not pitied
<02550> (8804)_.

3:44

Thou hast covered
<05526> (8804)

thyself with a cloud
<06051>_,

that [our] prayer
<08605>

should not pass through
<05674> (8800)_.

3:45

Thou hast made
<07760> (8799)

us [as] the offscouring
<05501>

and refuse
<03973>

in the midst
<07130>

of the people
<05971>_.

3:46

All our enemies
<0341> (8802)

have opened
<06475> (8804)

their mouths
<06310>

against us.

3:47

Fear
<06343>

and a snare
<06354>

is come upon us, desolation
<07612>

and destruction
<07667>_.

3:48

Mine eye
<05869>

runneth down
<03381> (8799)

with rivers
<06388>

of water
<04325>

for the destruction
<07667>

of the daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>_.

3:49

Mine eye
<05869>

trickleth down
<05064> (8738)_,

and ceaseth
<01820> (8799)

not, without any intermission
<02014>_,

3:50

Till the LORD
<03068>

look down
<08259> (8686)_,

and behold
<07200> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_.

3:51

Mine eye
<05869>

affecteth
<05953> (8782)

mine heart
<05315>

because of all the daughters
<01323>

of my city
<05892>_.

{mine heart: Heb. my soul} {because...: or, more than all}

3:52

Mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

chased
<06679> (8804)

me sore
<06679> (8800)_,

like a bird
<06833>_,

without cause
<02600>_.

3:53

They have cut off
<06789> (8804)

my life
<02416>

in the dungeon
<0953>_,

and cast
<03034> (8762)

a stone
<068>

upon me.

3:54

Waters
<04325>

flowed over
<06687> (8804)

mine head
<07218>_;

[then] I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I am cut off
<01504> (8738)_.

3:55

I called
<07121> (8804)

upon thy name
<08034>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

out of the low
<08482>

dungeon
<0953>_.

3:56

Thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)

my voice
<06963>_:

hide
<05956> (8686)

not thine ear
<0241>

at my breathing
<07309>_,

at my cry
<07775>_.

3:57

Thou drewest near
<07126> (8804)

in the day
<03117>

[that] I called
<07121> (8799)

upon thee: thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not.

3:58

O Lord
<0136>_,

thou hast pleaded
<07378> (8804)

the causes
<07379>

of my soul
<05315>_;

thou hast redeemed
<01350> (8804)

my life
<02416>_.

3:59

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast seen
<07200> (8804)

my wrong
<05792>_:

judge
<08199> (8798)

thou my cause
<04941>_.

3:60

Thou hast seen
<07200> (8804)

all their vengeance
<05360>

[and] all their imaginations
<04284>

against me.

3:61

Thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)

their reproach
<02781>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

[and] all their imaginations
<04284>

against me;

3:62

The lips
<08193>

of those that rose up
<06965> (8801)

against me, and their device
<01902>

against me all the day
<03117>_.

3:63

Behold
<05027> (8685)

their sitting down
<03427> (8800)_,

and their rising up
<07012>_;

I [am] their musick
<04485>_.

3:64

Render
<07725> (8686)

unto them a recompence
<01576>_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

according to the work
<04639>

of their hands
<03027>_.

3:65

Give
<05414> (8799)

them sorrow
<04044>

of heart
<03820>_,

thy curse
<08381>

unto them. {sorrow...: or, obstinacy of heart}

3:66

Persecute
<07291> (8799)

and destroy
<08045> (8686)

them in anger
<0639>

from under the heavens
<08064>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
