Lamentations 3:36-48
-
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.
