New Testament

Lamentations 3:15-24 American Standard Version (ASV)

15. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwood.

16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he hath covered me with ashes.

17. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity.

18. And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from Jehovah.

19. Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

20. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.

21. This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope.

22. It is of Jehovah’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.

24. Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
