Lamentations 3:48-66 ▼

48 Mine eye will bring down streams of water for the breaking of the daughter of my people.

49 Mine eye flowed and it will not be silent, from no intermission,

50 Till Jehovah shall look forth and see from the heavens.

51 Mine eye will glean for my soul for all the daughters of my city.

52 Hunting, they hunted me as a bird, mine enemies, gratuitously.

53 They cut off my life in the pit, and cast a stone upon me.

54 Waters were spread over my head; I said I was cut off.

55 I called thy name, O Jehovah, in the pit underneath.

56 Thou heardest my voice: thou wilt not hide thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57 Thou drewest near in the day I shall call thee: thou saidst, Thou shalt not fear.

58 Thou didst contend, O Jehovah, the contentions of my soul; thou didst redeem my life.

59 Thou sawest, O Jehovah, my bowing down: judge thou my judgment.

60 Thou sawest all their vengeance, all their purposes against me.

61 Thou heardest their reproach, O Jehovah, all their purposes against me.

62 The lips of those rising up, and their devices against me all the day.

63 Their sitting and their rising, look thou: I their song.

64 Thou wilt turn back to them a retribution, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.

65 Thou wilt give to them a covering of heart, thy curse to them.

66 Thou wilt pursue in thine anger, and thou wilt destroy them from under the heavens, O Jehovah.
