Verse

Lamentations - ch 3 v 1 - 20

  1. I `am' the man `who' hath seen affliction By the rod of His wrath.
  2. Me He hath led, and causeth to go `in' darkness, and without light.
  3. Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
  4. He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my bones.
  5. He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and weariness.
  6. In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of old.
  7. He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.
  8. Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer.
  9. He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
  10. A bear lying in wait He `is' to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
  11. My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
  12. He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
  13. He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His quiver.
  14. I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
  15. He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me `with' wormwood.
  16. And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
  17. And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
  18. And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.
  19. Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!
  20. Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.
