Lam Lamentations, chapter Book of Lamentations, chapter 3
[ALEPH-BET] I [am] the man [who] has seen affliction || By the rod of His wrath. Ezk 7:10He has led me, and causes to go [in] darkness, and without light. Jer 13:16Surely against me He turns back, || He turns His hand all the day. Job 19:21He has worn out my flesh and my skin. He has broken my bones. He has built up against me, || And sets around poverty and weariness. Jer 9:15In dark places He has caused me to dwell, || As the dead of old. Psa 143:3He has hedged me in, and I do not go out, || He has made heavy my chain. Job 19:8Also when I call and cry out, || He has shut out my prayer. He has hedged my ways with hewn work, || My paths He has made crooked. Hos 2:6A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, || A lion in secret hiding places. Hos 5:14; Hos 13:7My ways He is turning aside, and He pulls me in pieces, || He has made me a desolation. He has bent His bow, || And sets me up as a mark for an arrow. Job 16:12He has caused to enter into my reins || The sons of His quiver. I have been a derision to all my people, || Their song all the day. Job 30:9He has filled me with bitter things, || He has filled me [with] wormwood. Job 9:18And He breaks with gravel my teeth, || He has covered me with ashes. Pro 20:17And You cast off my soul from peace, || I have forgotten prosperity. And I say, My strength and my hope have perished from YHWH. Jer 17:13Remember my affliction and my mourning, || Wormwood and gall! Remember well, and my soul bows down in me. Mrk 15:23This I turn to my heart—therefore I hope. The kindnesses of YHWH! For we have not been consumed, || For His mercies have not ended. Neh 9:31; Psa 86:13; Jhn 3:16New every morning, abundant [is] Your faithfulness. Psa 138:8My portion [is] YHWH, my soul has said, || Therefore I hope for Him. Psa 16:5; Jer 10:16YHWH [is] good to those waiting for Him, || To the soul [that] seeks Him. Psa 34:8; Hab 2:3[It is] good when one stays and stands still || For the salvation of YHWH. [It is] good for a man that he bears a yoke in his youth. Psa 119:71He sits alone, and is silent, || For He has laid [it] on him. Psa 39:9; Psa 77:10He puts his mouth in the dust, if so be, there is hope. He gives to his striker the cheek, || He is filled with reproach. Mat 5:39For the Lord does not cast off for all time. Psa 77:7For though He afflicted, yet He has pitied, || According to the abundance of His kindness. Psa 30:5; Isa 54:7; Mic 7:18For He has not afflicted with His heart, || Nor does He grieve the sons of men. To bruise under one’s feet any bound ones of earth, To turn aside the judgment of a man, || Before the face of the Most High, To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord has not approved. Who [is] this—he has spoken, and it is, || [And] the Lord has not commanded [it]? From the mouth of the Most High does not go forth the evils and the good. Jhn 1:3Why does a living man sigh habitually, || A man for his sin? Jer 30:15; Mat 7:3We search our ways, and investigate, || And turn back to YHWH. Jer 3:23; 1Co 11:28We lift up our heart on the hands to God in the heavens. We have transgressed and been rebellious, || You have not forgiven. Dan 9:5You have covered Yourself with anger, || And pursue us; You have slain—You have not pitied. You have covered Yourself with a cloud, || So that prayer does not pass through. Outcast and refuse You make us || In the midst of the peoples. 1Co 4:13Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies. Fear and a snare has been for us, || Desolation and destruction. Isa 24:17Streams of water go down my eye, || For the destruction of the daughter of my people. Jer 14:17My eye is poured out, || And does not cease without intermission, Until YHWH looks and sees from the heavens, Psa 80:14My eye affects my soul, || Because of all the daughters of my city. Lam 1:16Hunting—my enemies have hunted me without cause like the bird. Jer 12:9They have cut off my life in a pit, || And they cast a stone against me. Jer 37:15Waters have flowed over my head, I have said, I have been cut off. I called Your Name, O YHWH, from the lower pit. Psa 130:1You have heard my voice, do not hide Your ear at my breathing—at my cry. You have drawn near in the day I call You, You have said, Do not fear. You have pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, || You have redeemed my life. You have seen, O YHWH, my overthrow, || Judge my cause. You have seen all their vengeance, || All their thoughts of me. You have heard their reproach, O YHWH, || All their thoughts against me, The lips of my withstanders, || Even their meditation against me all the day. Their sitting down, and their rising up, || Behold attentively, I [am] their song. You return to them the deed, O YHWH, || According to the work of their hands. Psa 28:4You give to them a covered heart, || Your curse to them. You pursue in anger, and destroy them, || From under the heavens of YHWH!Psa 79:6
