Lamentations 3:51-60 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

51. My eyes make me sad, when I see what happened to the young women in my city.

52. For no reason, my enemies hunted me like a bird.

53. They threw me alive into a pit and then threw stones at me.

54. Water came up over my head. I said to myself, “I am finished.”

55. Lord, I called your name from the bottom of the pit.

56. You heard my voice. You didn’t close your ears. You didn’t refuse to rescue me.

57. You came to me on the day that I called out to you. You said to me, “Don’t be afraid.”

58. You defended me and brought me back to life.

59. Lord, you have seen my trouble. Now judge my case for me.

60. You have seen how my enemies have hurt me. You have seen all the evil plans that they made against me.
