Lamentations 3
- 1 I AM the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
- 2 He has led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
- 3 Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day.
- 4 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.
- 5 He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
- 6 He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
- 7 He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
- 8 Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
- 9 He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he has made my paths crooked.
- 10 He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
- 11 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate.
- 12 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
- 13 He has 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 has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunken with wormwood.
- 16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he has covered me with ashes.
- 17 And you have removed my soul far off from peace: I forgot prosperity.
- 18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
- 19 Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
- 20 My soul has 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 your faithfulness.
- 24 The LORD is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
- 25 The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks 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 of his youth.
- 28 He sits alone and keeps silence, because he has borne it on him.
- 29 He puts his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
- 30 He gives his cheek to him that smites 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 does 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 approves not. ¶
- 37 Who is he that says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord commands it not?
- 38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceeds not evil and good?
- 39 Why does 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 to God in the heavens.
- 42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: you have not pardoned.
- 43 You have covered with anger, and persecuted us: you have slain, you have not pitied.
- 44 You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
- 45 You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the middle of the people.
- 46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
- 47 Fear and a snare is come on us, desolation and destruction.
- 48 My eye runs down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
- 49 My eye trickles down, and ceases not, without any intermission.
- 50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
- 51 My eye affects my heart because of all the daughters of my city.
- 52 My enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
- 53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone on me.
- 54 Waters flowed over my head; then I said, I am cut off. ¶
- 55 I called on your name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
- 56 You have heard my voice: hide not your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
- 57 You drew near in the day that I called on you: you said, Fear not.
- 58 O LORD, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
- 59 O LORD, you have seen my wrong: judge you my cause.
- 60 You have seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
- 61 You have 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 music. ¶
- 64 Render to them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
- 65 Give them sorrow of heart, your curse to them.
- 66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
