Lamentations 3:8 (KJV) King James Version

1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
64 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
1 I H589 am the man H1397 that hath seen H7200 affliction H6040 by the rod H7626 of his wrath. H5678
2 He hath led H5090 me , and brought H1980 me into darkness, H2822 but not H3808 into light. H216
3 Surely H389 against me is he turned; H7725 he turneth H2015 his hand H3027 against me all H3605 the day. H3117
4 My flesh H1320 and my skin H5785 hath he made old; H1086 he hath broken H7665 my bones. H6106
5 He hath built H1129 against H5921 me , and compassed H5362 me with gall H7219 and travail. H8513
6 He hath set H3427 me in dark places, H4285 as they that be dead H4191 of old. H5769
7 He hath hedged H1443 me about, H1157 that I cannot H3808 get out: H3318 he hath made my chain heavy H3513 H5178 .
8 Also H1571 when H3588 I cry H2199 and shout, H7768 he shutteth out H5640 my prayer. H8605
9 He hath enclosed H1443 my ways H1870 with hewn stone, H1496 he hath made my paths crooked H5753 H5410 .
10 He H1931 was unto me as a bear H1677 lying in wait, H693 and as a lion H738 in secret places. H4565
11 He hath turned aside H5493 my ways, H1870 and pulled me in pieces: H6582 he hath made H7760 me desolate. H8074
12 He hath bent H1869 his bow, H7198 and set H5324 me as a mark H4307 for the arrow. H2671
13 He hath caused the arrows H1121 of his quiver H827 to enter H935 into my reins. H3629
14 I was H1961 a derision H7814 to all H3605 my people; H5971 and their song H5058 all H3605 the day. H3117
15 He hath filled H7646 me with bitterness, H4844 he hath made me drunken H7301 with wormwood. H3939
16 He hath also broken H1638 my teeth H8127 with gravel stones, H2687 he hath covered H3728 me with ashes. H665
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off H2186 H5315 from peace H4480 H7965 : I forgot H5382 prosperity. H2896
18 And I said, H559 My strength H5331 and my hope H8431 is perished H6 from the LORD H4480 H3068 :
19 Remembering H2142 mine affliction H6040 and my misery, H4788 the wormwood H3939 and the gall. H7219
20 My soul H5315 hath them still in remembrance H2142 H2142 , and is humbled H7743 in H5921 me.
21 This H2063 I recall H7725 to H413 my mind, H3820 therefore H5921 H3651 have I hope. H3176
22 It is of the LORD's H3068 mercies H2617 that H3588 we are not H3808 consumed, H8552 because H3588 his compassions H7356 fail H3615 not. H3808
23 They are new H2319 every morning: H1242 great H7227 is thy faithfulness. H530
24 The LORD H3068 is my portion, H2506 saith H559 my soul; H5315 therefore H5921 H3651 will I hope H3176 in him.
25 The LORD H3068 is good H2896 unto them that wait for H6960 him , to the soul H5315 that seeketh H1875 him.
26 It is good H2896 that a man should both hope H3175 and quietly wait H1748 for the salvation H8668 of the LORD. H3068
27 It is good H2896 for a man H1397 that H3588 he bear H5375 the yoke H5923 in his youth. H5271
28 He sitteth H3427 alone H910 and keepeth silence, H1826 because H3588 he hath borne H5190 it upon H5921 him.
29 He putteth H5414 his mouth H6310 in the dust; H6083 if so be H194 there may be H3426 hope. H8615
30 He giveth H5414 his cheek H3895 to him that smiteth H5221 him : he is filled full H7646 with reproach. H2781
31 For H3588 the Lord H136 will not H3808 cast off H2186 forever: H5769
32 But H3588 though H518 he cause grief, H3013 yet will he have compassion H7355 according to the multitude H7230 of his mercies. H2617
33 For H3588 he doth not H3808 afflict H6031 willingly H4480 H3820 nor grieve H3013 the children H1121 of men. H376
34 To crush H1792 under H8478 his feet H7272 all H3605 the prisoners H615 of the earth, H776
35 To turn aside H5186 the right H4941 of a man H1397 before H5048 the face H6440 of the most High, H5945
36 To subvert H5791 a man H120 in his cause, H7379 the Lord H136 approveth H7200 not. H3808
37 Who H4310 is he H2088 that saith, H559 and it cometh to pass, H1961 when the Lord H136 commandeth H6680 it not H3808 ?
38 Out of the mouth H4480 H6310 of the most High H5945 proceedeth H3318 not H3808 evil H7451 and good H2896 ?
39 Wherefore H4100 doth a living H2416 man H120 complain, H596 a man H1397 for H5921 the punishment of his sins H2399 ?
40 Let us search H2664 and try H2713 our ways, H1870 and turn again H7725 to H5704 the LORD. H3068
41 Let us lift up H5375 our heart H3824 with H413 our hands H3709 unto H413 God H410 in the heavens. H8064
42 We H5168 have transgressed H6586 and have rebelled: H4784 thou H859 hast not H3808 pardoned. H5545
43 Thou hast covered H5526 with anger, H639 and persecuted H7291 us : thou hast slain, H2026 thou hast not H3808 pitied. H2550
44 Thou hast covered H5526 thyself with a cloud, H6051 that our prayer H8605 should not pass through H4480 H5674 .
45 Thou hast made H7760 us as the offscouring H5501 and refuse H3973 in the midst H7130 of the people. H5971
46 All H3605 our enemies H341 have opened H6475 their mouths H6310 against H5921 us.
47 Fear H6343 and a snare H6354 is come H1961 upon us, desolation H7612 and destruction. H7667
48 Mine eye H5869 runneth down H3381 with rivers H6388 of water H4325 for H5921 the destruction H7667 of the daughter H1323 of my people. H5971
49 Mine eye H5869 trickleth down, H5064 and ceaseth H1820 not, H3808 without any H4480 H369 intermission, H2014
50 Till H5704 the LORD H3068 look down, H8259 and behold H7200 from heaven H4480 H8064 .
51 Mine eye H5869 affecteth H5953 mine heart H5315 because of all H4480 H3605 the daughters H1323 of my city. H5892
52 Mine enemies H341 chased me sore H6679 H6679 , like a bird, H6833 without cause. H2600
53 They have cut off H6789 my life H2416 in the dungeon, H953 and cast H3034 a stone H68 upon me.
54 Waters H4325 flowed H6687 over H5921 mine head; H7218 then I said, H559 I am cut off. H1504
55 I called upon H7121 thy name, H8034 O LORD, H3068 out of the low dungeon H4480 H953. H8482
56 Thou hast heard H8085 my voice: H6963 hide H5956 not H408 thine ear H241 at my breathing, H7309 at my cry. H7775
57 Thou drewest near H7126 in the day H3117 that I called upon H7121 thee : thou saidst, H559 Fear H3372 not. H408
58 O Lord, H136 thou hast pleaded H7378 the causes H7379 of my soul; H5315 thou hast redeemed H1350 my life. H2416
59 O LORD, H3068 thou hast seen H7200 my wrong: H5792 judge H8199 thou my cause. H4941
60 Thou hast seen H7200 all H3605 their vengeance H5360 and all H3605 their imaginations H4284 against me.
61 Thou hast heard H8085 their reproach, H2781 O LORD, H3068 and all H3605 their imaginations H4284 against H5921 me;
62 The lips H8193 of those that rose up against H6965 me , and their device H1902 against H5921 me all H3605 the day. H3117
63 Behold H5027 their sitting down, H3427 and their rising up; H7012 I H589 am their music. H4485
64 Render H7725 unto them a recompense, H1576 O LORD, H3068 according to the work H4639 of their hands. H3027
65 Give H5414 them sorrow H4044 of heart, H3820 thy curse H8381 unto them.
66 Persecute H7291 and destroy H8045 them in anger H639 from under H4480 H8478 the heavens H8064 of the LORD. H3068
