Ekhah 3:42-52 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

44. Thou hast covered Thyself with an anan, that our tefillah not pass through.

45. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse among the amim.

46. Kol oyveinu (all our enemies) have opened their mouths against us.

47. Pachad (terror) and a snare is come upon us, ruin and destruction.

48. Mine eye runneth down with streams of mayim for the destruction of Bat Ami.

49. Mine eye will flow down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission

50. Till Hashem look down, and behold from Shomayim.

51. Mine eye affecteth mine nefesh because of all the banot of my city.

52. Mine enemies hunted me down, like a tzippor (bird), without cause.
