I am the manH1397 that hath seenH7200 afflictionH6040 by the rodH7626 of his wrathH5678.
He hath ledH5090 me, and broughtH3212 me into darknessH2822, but not into lightH216.
Surely against me is he turnedH7725; he turnethH2015 his handH3027 against me all the dayH3117.
My fleshH1320 and my skinH5785 hath he made oldH1086; he hath brokenH7665 my bonesH6106.
He hath builded againstH1129 me, and compassedH5362 me with gallH7219 and travailH8513.
He hath setH3427 me in dark placesH4285, as they that be deadH4191 of oldH5769.
He hath hedgedH1443 me about, that I cannot get outH3318: he hath made my chainH5178 heavyH3513.
Also when I cryH2199 and shoutH7768, he shutteth outH5640 my prayerH8605.
He hath inclosedH1443 my waysH1870 with hewn stoneH1496, he hath made my pathsH5410 crookedH5753.
He was unto me as a bearH1677 lying in waitH693, and as a lionH738 in secret placesH4565.
He hath turned asideH5493 my waysH1870, and pulled me in piecesH6582: he hath madeH7760 me desolateH8074.
He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and setH5324 me as a markH4307 for the arrowH2671.
He hath caused the arrowsH1121 of his quiverH827 to enterH935 into my reinsH3629. {arrows: Heb. sons}
I was a derisionH7814 to all my peopleH5971; and their songH5058 all the dayH3117.
He hath filledH7646 me with bitternessH4844, he hath made me drunkenH7301 with wormwoodH3939. {bitterness: Heb. bitternesses}
He hath also brokenH1638 my teethH8127 with gravel stonesH2687, he hath coveredH3728 me with ashesH665. {covered…: or, rolled me in the ashes}
And thou hast removedH2186 my soulH5315 far offH2186 from peaceH7965: I forgatH5382 prosperityH2896. {prosperity: Heb. good}
And I saidH559, My strengthH5331 and my hopeH8431 is perishedH6 from the LORDH3068:
RememberingH2142 mine afflictionH6040 and my miseryH4788, the wormwoodH3939 and the gallH7219. {Remembering: or, Remember}
My soulH5315 hath them stillH2142 in remembranceH2142, and is humbledH7743 in me. {humbled: Heb. bowed}
This I recallH7725 to my mindH3820, therefore have I hopeH3176. {recall…: Heb. make to return to my heart}
It is of the LORD'SH3068 merciesH2617 that we are not consumedH8552, because his compassionsH7356 failH3615 not.
They are newH2319 every morningH1242: greatH7227 is thy faithfulnessH530.
The LORDH3068 is my portionH2506, saithH559 my soulH5315; therefore will I hopeH3176 in him.
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 that seekethH1875 him.
It is goodH2896 that a man should both hopeH3175+H2342 and quietly waitH1748 for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.
It is goodH2896 for a manH1397 that he bearH5375 the yokeH5923 in his youthH5271.
He sittethH3427 aloneH910 and keepeth silenceH1826, because he hath borneH5190 it upon him.
He puttethH5414 his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083; if so be there may beH3426 hopeH8615.
He givethH5414 his cheekH3895 to him that smitethH5221 him: he is filled fullH7646 with reproachH2781.
For the LordH136 will not cast offH2186 for everH5769:
But though he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
For he doth not afflictH6031 willinglyH3820 nor grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376. {willingly: Heb. from his heart}
To crushH1792 under his feetH7272 all the prisonersH615 of the earthH776,
To turn asideH5186 the rightH4941 of a manH1397 before the faceH6440 of the most HighH5945, {the most High: or, a superior}
To subvertH5791 a manH120 in his causeH7379, the LordH136 approvethH7200 not. {approveth not: or, seeth not}
Who is he that saithH559, and it cometh to pass, when the LordH136 commandethH6680 it not?
Out of the mouthH6310 of the most HighH5945 proceedethH3318 not evilH7451 and goodH2896?
Wherefore doth a livingH2416 manH120 complainH596, a manH1397 for the punishment of his sinsH2399? {complain: or, murmur}
Let us searchH2664 and tryH2713 our waysH1870, and turn againH7725 to the LORDH3068.
Let us lift upH5375 our heartH3824 with our handsH3709 unto GodH410 in the heavensH8064.
WeH5168 have transgressedH6586 and have rebelledH4784: thou hast not pardonedH5545.
Thou hast coveredH5526 with angerH639, and persecutedH7291 us: thou hast slainH2026, thou hast not pitiedH2550.
Thou hast coveredH5526 thyself with a cloudH6051, that our prayerH8605 should not pass throughH5674.
Thou hast madeH7760 us as the offscouringH5501 and refuseH3973 in the midstH7130 of the peopleH5971.
All our enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthsH6310 against us.
FearH6343 and a snareH6354 is come upon us, desolationH7612 and destructionH7667.
Mine eyeH5869 runneth downH3381 with riversH6388 of waterH4325 for the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
Mine eyeH5869 trickleth downH5064, and ceasethH1820 not, without any intermissionH2014,
Till the LORDH3068 look downH8259, and beholdH7200 from heavenH8064.
Mine eyeH5869 affectethH5953 mine heartH5315 because of all the daughtersH1323 of my cityH5892. {mine heart: Heb. my soul} {because…: or, more than all}
Mine enemiesH341 chasedH6679 me soreH6679, like a birdH6833, without causeH2600.
They have cut offH6789 my lifeH2416 in the dungeonH953, and castH3034 a stoneH68 upon me.
WatersH4325 flowed overH6687 mine headH7218; then I saidH559, I am cut offH1504.
I calledH7121 upon thy nameH8034, O LORDH3068, out of the lowH8482 dungeonH953.
Thou hast heardH8085 my voiceH6963: hideH5956 not thine earH241 at my breathingH7309, at my cryH7775.
Thou drewest nearH7126 in the dayH3117 that I calledH7121 upon thee: thou saidstH559, FearH3372 not.
O LordH136, thou hast pleadedH7378 the causesH7379 of my soulH5315; thou hast redeemedH1350 my lifeH2416.
O LORDH3068, thou hast seenH7200 my wrongH5792: judgeH8199 thou my causeH4941.
Thou hast seenH7200 all their vengeanceH5360 and all their imaginationsH4284 against me.
Thou hast heardH8085 their reproachH2781, O LORDH3068, and all their imaginationsH4284 against me;
The lipsH8193 of those that rose upH6965 against me, and their deviceH1902 against me all the dayH3117.
BeholdH5027 their sitting downH3427, and their rising upH7012; I am their musickH4485.
RenderH7725 unto them a recompenceH1576, O LORDH3068, according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027.
GiveH5414 them sorrowH4044 of heartH3820, thy curseH8381 unto them. {sorrow…: or, obstinacy of heart}
PersecuteH7291 and destroyH8045 them in angerH639 from under the heavensH8064 of the LORDH3068.

Is it nothing to you, all ye that passH5674 byH1870? beholdH5027, and seeH7200 if there beH3426 any sorrowH4341 like unto my sorrowH4341, which is doneH5953 unto me, wherewith the LORDH3068 hath afflictedH3013 me in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {Is it…: or, It is nothing} {pass by: Heb. pass by the way?}
From aboveH4791 hath he sentH7971 fireH784 into my bonesH6106, and it prevailethH7287 against them: he hath spreadH6566 a netH7568 for my feetH7272, he hath turnedH7725 me backH268: he hath madeH5414 me desolateH8074 and faintH1739 all the dayH3117.
The yokeH5923 of my transgressionsH6588 is boundH8244 by his handH3027: they are wreathedH8276, and come upH5927 upon my neckH6677: he hath made my strengthH3581 to fallH3782, the LordH136 hath deliveredH5414 me into their handsH3027, from whom I am not ableH3201 to rise upH6965.
Have pityH2603 upon me, have pityH2603 upon me, O ye my friendsH7453; for the handH3027 of GodH433 hath touchedH5060 me.
Thou, which hast shewedH7200 me greatH7227 and soreH7451 troublesH6869, shalt quickenH2421 me againH7725, and shalt bring me upH5927 againH7725 from the depthsH8415 of the earthH776.
Thy wrathH2534 lieth hardH5564 upon me, and thou hast afflictedH6031 me with all thy wavesH4867. SelahH5542.
I am afflictedH6041 and ready to dieH1478 from my youthH5290 up: while I sufferH5375 thy terrorsH367 I am distractedH6323.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
I satH3427 not in the assemblyH5475 of the mockersH7832, nor rejoicedH5937; I satH3427 aloneH910 becauseH6440 of thy handH3027: for thou hast filledH4390 me with indignationH2195.
Why is my painH3511 perpetualH5331, and my woundH4347 incurableH605, which refusethH3985 to be healedH7495? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liarH391, and as watersH4325 that failH539? {fail: Heb. be not sure?}
CursedH779 be the dayH3117 wherein I was bornH3205: let not the dayH3117 wherein my motherH517 bareH3205 me be blessedH1288.
CursedH779 be the manH376 who brought tidingsH1319 to my fatherH1, sayingH559, A manH2145 childH1121 is bornH3205 unto thee; making him veryH8055 gladH8055.
And let that manH376 be as the citiesH5892 which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015, and repentedH5162 not: and let him hearH8085 the cryH2201 in the morningH1242, and the shoutingH8643 at noontideH6256+H6672;
Because he slewH4191 me not from the wombH7358; or that my motherH517 might have been my graveH6913, and her wombH7358 to be alwaysH5769 greatH2030 with me.
Wherefore came I forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 to seeH7200 labourH5999 and sorrowH3015, that my daysH3117 should be consumedH3615 with shameH1322?
Then tookH3947 they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883 in the mireH2916. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
