Lamentations 3:42-53 World English Bible (WEB)

42. “We have transgressed and have rebelled. You have not pardoned.

43. “You have covered us with anger and pursued us. You have killed. You have not pitied.

44. You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

45. You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.

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

47. Terror and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.”

48. My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49. My eye pours down, and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,

50. until Yahweh looks down, and sees from heaven.

51. My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

52. They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

53. They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
