THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Lamentations (Author Jeremiah)

3:42We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

3:43Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

3:44Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

3:45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

3:46All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

3:47Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

3:48Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

3:49Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,

3:50Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.

3:51Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

3:52Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

3:53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

3:54Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
