Ekhah 3:39-43 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

39. Why doth an adam chai (any man alive) complain, a gever for the punishment of his sins?

40. Let us search and test derakheinu (our ways), and let us turn again to Hashem.

41. Let us lift up levavenu (our heart) with our hands unto El baShomayim.

42. We have transgressed and have rebelled; Atah lo salachta (Thou hast not pardoned, forgiven).

43. Thou hast covered with af (anger), and pursued us; Thou hast slain, Thou hast not pitied.
