25:003:044 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud,
that our prayer should
not
pass through.
25:003:045 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and
refuse in the midst
of
the people.
25:003:046 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
25:003:047 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
25:003:048 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water
for the destruction
of
the daughter of my people.
25:003:049 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not,
without any
intermission.
25:003:050 Till the lord look down, and behold from heaven.
25:003:051 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of
all the daughters of
my
city.
25:003:052 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
25:003:053 They have cut off my life in the dungeon,
and cast a stone
upon
me.
25:003:054 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
25:003:055 I called upon thy name, O lord, out of the low dungeon.
25:003:056 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not
thine ear at my breathing,
at
my cry.
25:003:057 Thou drewest near in the day that I called
upon thee: thou
saidst,
Fear not.
25:003:058 O lord, thou hast pleaded the causes
of my soul; thou hast
redeemed
my life.
25:003:059 O lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
25:003:060 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and
all their imaginations
against
me.
25:003:061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O lord,
and all their
imaginations
against me;
25:003:062 The lips of those that rose up against
me, and their device
against
me all the day.
25:003:063 Behold their sitting down, and their rising
up; I am their
musick.
25:003:064 Render unto them a recompence, O lord,
according to the work
of
their hands.
25:003:065 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
25:003:066 Persecute and destroy them in anger from
under the heavens of
the
lord.
25:004:001 How is the gold become dim! how is the
most fine gold changed!
the
stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of
every
street.
25:004:002 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to
fine gold, how are
they
esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands
of
the
potter!
25:004:003 Even the sea monsters draw out the breast,
they give suck to
their
young ones: the daughter of my people is become
cruel,
like
the ostriches in the wilderness.
25:004:004 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth
to the roof of his
mouth
for thirst: the young children ask bread, and
no man
breaketh
it unto them.
