by the sword; thou hast slain
them
in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed,
and
not pitied.
22
Thou
hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the L
ORD
’S anger none
escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
CHAPTER 3
I
am
the man
that
hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2
He hath led me, and brought
me
into
darkness, but not
into
light.
3
Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand
against me
all the day.
4
My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5
He hath builded
against me, and compassed
me
with gall and travail.
6
He hath set me in dark places, as
they that
be
dead of old.
7
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8
Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9
He hath inclosed my ways with hewn
stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10
He
was
unto me
as
a bear lying in wait,
and as
a lion in
secret places.
11
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
12
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13
He hath caused the arrows of his
quiver to enter into my reins.
14
I was a derision to all my people;
and
their song all the day.
15
He
hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
16
He hath also broken
my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17
And thou hast removed my soul far
off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the
L
ORD
:
19
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20
My soul hath
them
still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22
It is of
the L
ORD
’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23
They
are
new every morning: great
is
thy faithfulness.
24
The L
ORD
is
my portion, saith my soul; therefore
will I hope in him.
25
The L
ORD
is
good unto them that wait for him, to the soul
that
seeketh him.
26
It is
good that
a man
should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the L
ORD
.
27
It is
good
for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he
hath borne it upon him.
29
He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30
He giveth
his
cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31
For the Lord will not cast off
for ever:
32
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of
his mercies.
33
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34
To crush under
his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most
High,
36
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37
Who
is
he
that
saith, and it cometh
to pass,
when
the Lord commandeth
it
not?
38
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not
evil and good?
39
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the L
ORD
.
41
Let us lift up our heart with
our
hands unto God in the heavens.
42
We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43
Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44
Thou
