Lamentations 3:1-36

3:1
I [am] the man
<01397>
[that] hath seen
<07200> (8804)
affliction
<06040>
by the rod
<07626>
of his wrath
<05678>_.
3:2
He hath led
<05090> (8804)
me, and brought
<03212> (8686)
[me into] darkness
<02822>_,
but not [into] light
<0216>_.
3:3
Surely against me is he turned
<07725> (8799)_;
he turneth
<02015> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
[against me] all the day
<03117>_.
3:4
My flesh
<01320>
and my skin
<05785>
hath he made old
<01086> (8765)_;
he hath broken
<07665> (8765)
my bones
<06106>_.
3:5
He hath builded against
<01129> (8804)
me, and compassed
<05362> (8686)
[me] with gall
<07219>
and travail
<08513>_.
3:6
He hath set
<03427> (8689)
me in dark places
<04285>_,
as [they that be] dead
<04191> (8801)
of old
<05769>_.
3:7
He hath hedged
<01443> (8804)
me about, that I cannot get out
<03318> (8799)_:
he hath made my chain
<05178>
heavy
<03513> (8689)_.
3:8
Also when I cry
<02199> (8799)
and shout
<07768> (8762)_,
he shutteth out
<05640> (8804)
my prayer
<08605>_.
3:9
He hath inclosed
<01443> (8804)
my ways
<01870>
with hewn stone
<01496>_,
he hath made my paths
<05410>
crooked
<05753> (8765)_.
3:10
He [was] unto me [as] a bear
<01677>
lying in wait
<0693> (8802)_,
[and as] a lion
<0738>
in secret places
<04565>_.
3:11
He hath turned aside
<05493> (8790)
my ways
<01870>_,
and pulled me in pieces
<06582> (8762)_:
he hath made
<07760> (8804)
me desolate
<08074> (8802)_.
3:12
He hath bent
<01869> (8804)
his bow
<07198>_,
and set
<05324> (8686)
me as a mark
<04307>
for the arrow
<02671>_.
3:13
He hath caused the arrows
<01121>
of his quiver
<0827>
to enter
<0935> (8689)
into my reins
<03629>_.
{arrows: Heb. sons}
3:14
I was a derision
<07814>
to all my people
<05971>_;
[and] their song
<05058>
all the day
<03117>_.
3:15
He hath filled
<07646> (8689)
me with bitterness
<04844>_,
he hath made me drunken
<07301> (8689)
with wormwood
<03939>_.
{bitterness: Heb. bitternesses}
3:16
He hath also broken
<01638> (8686)
my teeth
<08127>
with gravel stones
<02687>_,
he hath covered
<03728> (8689)
me with ashes
<0665>_.
{covered...: or, rolled me in the ashes}
3:17
And thou hast removed
<02186> (0)
my soul
<05315>
far off
<02186> (8799)
from peace
<07965>_:
I forgat
<05382> (8804)
prosperity
<02896>_.
{prosperity: Heb. good}
3:18
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
My strength
<05331>
and my hope
<08431>
is perished
<06> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>_:
3:19
Remembering
<02142> (8798)
mine affliction
<06040>
and my misery
<04788>_,
the wormwood
<03939>
and the gall
<07219>_.
{Remembering: or, Remember}
3:20
My soul
<05315>
hath [them] still
<02142> (8800)
in remembrance
<02142> (8799)_,
and is humbled
<07743> (8686)
in me. {humbled: Heb. bowed}
3:21
This I recall
<07725> (8686)
to my mind
<03820>_,
therefore have I hope
<03176> (8686)_.
{recall...: Heb. make to return to my heart}
3:22
[It is of] the LORD'S
<03068>
mercies
<02617>
that we are not consumed
<08552> (8804)_,
because his compassions
<07356>
fail
<03615> (8804)
not.
3:23
[They are] new
<02319>
every morning
<01242>_:
great
<07227>
[is] thy faithfulness
<0530>_.
3:24
The LORD
<03068>
[is] my portion
<02506>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
my soul
<05315>_;
therefore will I hope
<03176> (8686)
in him.
3:25
The LORD
<03068>
[is] good
<02896>
unto them that wait
<06960> (8802)
for him, to the soul
<05315>
[that] seeketh
<01875> (8799)
him.
3:26
[It is] good
<02896>
that [a man] should both hope
<03175> (8675) <02342> (8799)
and quietly wait
<01748>
for the salvation
<08668>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
3:27
[It is] good
<02896>
for a man
<01397>
that he bear
<05375> (8799)
the yoke
<05923>
in his youth
<05271>_.
3:28
He sitteth
<03427> (8799)
alone
<0910>
and keepeth silence
<01826> (8799)_,
because he hath borne
<05190> (8804)
[it] upon him.
3:29
He putteth
<05414> (8799)
his mouth
<06310>
in the dust
<06083>_;
if so be there may be
<03426>
hope
<08615>_.
3:30
He giveth
<05414> (8799)
[his] cheek
<03895>
to him that smiteth
<05221> (8688)
him: he is filled full
<07646> (8799)
with reproach
<02781>_.
3:31
For the Lord
<0136>
will not cast off
<02186> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_:
3:32
But though he cause grief
<03013> (8689)_,
yet will he have compassion
<07355> (8765)
according to the multitude
<07230>
of his mercies
<02617>_.
3:33
For he doth not afflict
<06031> (8765)
willingly
<03820>
nor grieve
<03013> (8762)
the children
<01121>
of men
<0376>_.
{willingly: Heb. from his heart}
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}
