Lamentations 3:43

Compare all

41 ^aLet us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven.

42 ^aWe have transgressed and rebelled;
You have not pardoned.

43 You have covered Yourself with anger
And pursued us;
You have slain and not pitied.

44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud,
That prayer should not pass through.

45 You have made us an ^aoffscouring and refuse
In the midst of the peoples.

46 ^aAll our enemies
Have opened their mouths against us.

47 ^aFear and a snare have come upon us,
^bDesolation and destruction.
