Lamentations 3:43-55 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

43. You have covered yourself in anger and pursued us, you have slain and not shown mercy.

44. You have covered yourself in a cloud so that prayer cannot pass through.

45. You have made us scum and refuse in the midst of the nations.

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

47. Fear and a pit have come upon us, desolation and destruction.

48. Channels of water run down my eyes because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49. My eyes have poured down unceasingly without respite,

50. until Yahweh looks down and sees from heaven.

51. My eyes inflict my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

52. My enemies hunt me without cause, like a bird.

53. They have silenced me in a pit, they have thrown a stone at me.

54. Water has flown over my head, I said, “I am cut off.”

55. I have called your name, O Yahweh, from the depths of the pit.
