He built against me and has put around me bitterness and hardship.

He caused the sons of His quiver to enter into my inward parts.
Lamentations 3 : 14 (LITV)
I was a mockery to all my people, their song all the day.
Lamentations 3 : 15 (LITV)
He has filled me with bitterness and made me drunk with wormwood.
Lamentations 3 : 16 (LITV)
And He broke my teeth with gravel; He has covered me in the ashes.
Lamentations 3 : 17 (LITV)
And You cast off my soul from peace; I have forgotten goodness.
Lamentations 3 : 18 (LITV)
And I said, My strength and my hope have perished from Jehovah.

For the Lord will not cast off forever.
Lamentations 3 : 32 (LITV)
For though He causes grief, He will have pity according to His many kindnesses.
Lamentations 3 : 33 (LITV)
For He does not afflict from His heart, nor does He grieve the sons of man,
Lamentations 3 : 34 (LITV)
to crush all the prisoners of earth under His feet,
Lamentations 3 : 35 (LITV)
to turn aside the justice of a man before the face of the Most High,
Lamentations 3 : 36 (LITV)
to wrong a man in his cause. This, the Lord does not see.
Lamentations 3 : 37 (LITV)
Who is this speaking, and it happens when the Lord does not command it?

until Jehovah shall look down and see from Heaven.

Lamentations 3 : 62 (LITV)
the lips of those rising up against me, and their scheming against me all the day.
Lamentations 3 : 63 (LITV)
Look at their sitting and their rising up. I am their song.
Lamentations 3 : 64 (LITV)
You will give back a recompense to them, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands.
Lamentations 3 : 65 (LITV)
You will give them insolence of heart as Your curse to them.
Lamentations 3 : 66 (LITV)
Pursue and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of Jehovah.
