Lamentations 3:43-54 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

43. You wrapped yourself in wrath and pursued us,killing without pity;

44. You wrapped yourself in a cloud,which no prayer could pierce.

45. You have made us filth and rubbishamong the peoples.

46. They have opened their mouths against us,all our enemies;

47. Panic and the pit have been our lot,desolation and destruction;

48. My eyes stream with tears over the destructionof the daughter of my people.

49. My eyes will flow without ceasing,without rest,

50. Until the Lord from heavenlooks down and sees.

51. I am tormented by the sightof all the daughters of my city.

52. Without cause, my enemies snared meas though I were a bird;

53. They tried to end my life in the pit,pelting me with stones.

54. The waters flowed over my head:and I said, “I am lost!”
