Lamentations 3:15-26 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

15. The Lord filled me with misery.He filled me with suffering.

16. The Lord broke my teeth with gravel.He crushed me into the dirt.

17. I have no more peace.I have forgotten what happiness is.

18. I said, “My strength is gone.I have no more hope that the Lord will help me.”

19. Lord, remember my suffering and how I have no home.Remember the misery and suffering.

20. I remember them well.And I am very sad.

21. But I have hopewhen I think of this:

22. The Lord’s love never ends.His mercies never stop.

23. They are new every morning.Lord, your loyalty is great.

24. I say to myself, “The Lord is what I have left.So I have hope.”

25. The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him.He is good to those who look to him for help.

26. It is good to wait quietlyfor the Lord to save.
