Lamentations 3:42-56 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

42. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

43. Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.

44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.

45. Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.

46. All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.

47. Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.

48. Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people.

49. Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

50. till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens.

51. Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

52. They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird.

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

54. Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off.

55. I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.

56. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
