Lamentations 3:46-54

New International Version

⁴⁶ “All our enemies have opened their mouths
    wide^(A) against us.^(B)
47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls,^(C)
    ruin and destruction.^(D)”
⁴⁸ Streams of tears^(E) flow from my eyes^(F)
    because my people are destroyed.^(G)

⁴⁹ My eyes will flow unceasingly,
    without relief,^(H)
50 until the Lord looks down
    from heaven and sees.^(I)
51 What I see brings grief to my soul
    because of all the women of my city.

⁵² Those who were my enemies without cause
    hunted me like a bird.^(J)
53 They tried to end my life in a pit^(K)
    and threw stones at me;
⁵⁴ the waters closed over my head,^(L)
    and I thought I was about to perish.^(M)
