Lamentations 3:43-55 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

43. You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.

44. You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

45. You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

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

47. Fear and a snare has come upon us, desolation and destruction.

48. My eye runs down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49. My eye flows down, and ceases not, without any intermission,

50. Till the LORD looks down, and beholds from heaven.

51. My eye affects my heart because of all the daughters of my city.

52. My enemies chased me hard, like a bird, without cause.

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

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

55. I called upon your name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
