002:018 Their heart cried to the Lord: wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; don't let the apple of your eye cease. 002:019 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street. 002:020 Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord? 002:021 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, [and] not pitied. 002:022 You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side; There was none that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh's anger: Those that I have dandled and brought up has my enemy consumed. 003:001 I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 003:002 He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. 003:003 Surely against me he turns his hand again and again all the day. 003:004 My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones. 003:005 He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 003:006 He has made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. 003:007 He has walled me about, that I can't go forth; he has made my chain heavy. 003:008 Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. 003:009 He has walled up my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked. 003:010 He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places. 003:011 He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he has made me desolate. 003:012 He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 003:013 He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys. 003:014 I am become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day. 003:015 He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood. 003:016 He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered me with ashes. 003:017 You have removed my soul far off from peace; I forgot prosperity. 003:018 I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from Yahweh. 003:019 Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 003:020 My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me. 003:021 This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. 003:022 [It is of] Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail. 003:023 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
