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.

For howH349 shall I go upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall come onH4672 my fatherH1. {come…: Heb. find my father}
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
So DavidH1732 and his menH582 cameH935 to the cityH5892, and, behold, it was burnedH8313 with fireH784; and their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, were taken captivesH7617.
The youngH5288 and the oldH2205 lieH7901 on the groundH776 in the streetsH2351: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are fallenH5307 by the swordH2719; thou hast slainH2026 them in the dayH3117 of thine angerH639; thou hast killedH2873, and not pitiedH2550.
Then DavidH1732 and the peopleH5971 that were with him lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and weptH1058, until they had no more powerH3581 to weepH1058.
My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am painedH2342+H3176 at my veryH7023 heartH3820; my heartH3820 maketh a noiseH1993 in me; I cannot hold my peaceH2790, because thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. {my very…: Heb. the walls of my heart}
DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the whole landH776 is spoiledH7703: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiledH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
How long shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, I will punishH6485 them: the young menH970 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719; their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 shall dieH4191 by famineH7458: {punish: Heb. visit upon}
If I go forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, then behold the slainH2491 with the swordH2719! and if I enterH935 into the cityH5892, then behold them that are sickH8463 with famineH7458! yea, both the prophetH5030 and the priestH3548 go aboutH5503 into a landH776 that they knowH3045 not. {go about…: or, make merchandise against a land, and men acknowledge it not}
And the peopleH5971 to whom they prophesyH5012 shall be cast outH7993 in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and they shall have none to buryH6912 themH1992, them, their wivesH802, nor their sonsH1121, nor their daughtersH1323: for I will pourH8210 their wickednessH7451 upon them.
AndG2532 whenG5613 he was come nearG1448, he beheldG1492 the cityG4172, and weptG2799 overG1909 itG846,
SayingG3004, IfG3754+G1487 thou hadst knownG1097, evenG2532 thouG4771, at leastG2534 inG1722 thisG5026 thyG4675 dayG2250, the thingsG3588 which belong untoG4314 thyG4675 peaceG1515! butG1161 nowG3568 they are hidG2928 fromG575 thineG4675 eyesG3788.
ForG3754 the daysG2250 shall comeG2240 uponG1909 theeG4571, thatG2532 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 shall castG4016 a trenchG5482 aboutG4016 theeG4671, andG2532 compassG4033 theeG4571 roundG4033, andG2532 keepG4912 theeG4571 inG4912 on every sideG3840,
AndG2532 shall layG1474 theeG4571 even with the groundG1474, andG2532 thyG4675 childrenG5043 withinG1722 theeG4671; andG2532 they shallG863 notG3756 leaveG863 inG1722 theeG4671 one stoneG3037 uponG1909 anotherG3037; becauseG473+G3739 thou knewestG1097 notG3756 the timeG2540 of thyG4675 visitationG1984.
And I will cause them to eatH398 the fleshH1320 of their sonsH1121 and the fleshH1320 of their daughtersH1323, and they shall eatH398 every oneH376 the fleshH1320 of his friendH7453 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith their enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 their livesH5315, shall straitenH6693 them.
