+Lamentations.
+Chapter 3.
+I am the man who has seen trouble by the rod of his wrath. 
+By him I have been made to go in the dark where there is no light. 
+Truly against me his hand has been turned again and again all the day. 
+My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken. 
+He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow. 
+He has kept me in dark places, like those who have been long dead. 
+He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain. 
+Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out. 
+He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted. 
+He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places. 
+By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste. 
+With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows. 
+He has let loose his arrows into the inmost parts of my body. 
+I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day. 
+He has made my life nothing but pain, he has given me the bitter root in full measure. 
+By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust. 
+My soul is sent far away from peace, I have no more memory of good. 
+And I said, My strength is cut off, and my hope from the Lord. 
+Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison. 
+My soul still keeps the memory of them; and is bent down in me. 
+This I keep in mind, and because of this I have hope. 
+It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit. 
+They are new every morning; great is your good faith. 
+I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him. 
+The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him. 
+It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord. 
+It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young. 
+Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him. 
+Let him put his mouth in the dust, if by chance there may be hope. 
+Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame. 
+For the Lord does not give a man up for ever. 
+For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love. 
+For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men. 
+In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, 
+In his turning away the right of a man before the face of the Most High. 
+In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure. 
+Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord? 
+Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High? 
+What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin? 
+Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord; 
+Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens. 
+We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness. 
+Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity; 
+Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through. 
+You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples. 
+The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us. 
+Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction. 
+Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 
+My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest, 
+Till the Lord's eye is turned on me, till he sees my trouble from heaven. 
+The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town. 
+They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird; 
+They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones. 
+Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off. 
+I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison. 
+My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry. 
+You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear. 
+O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe. 
+O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause. 
+You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me. 
+Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me; 
+The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day. 
+Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song. 
+You will give them their reward, O Lord, answering to the work of their hands. 
+You will let their hearts be covered over with your curse on them. 
+You will go after them in wrath, and put an end to them from under the heavens of the Lord.
