THE THIRD LAMENTATION
I, the mighty, saw humiliation by the scion of his fury: 2 he drove me and walked me into darkness without light: 3 surely he turns against me - turns his hand all the day: 4 he wears out my flesh and my skin; he breaks my bones; 5 he builds against me and surrounds me with rosh and travail; 6 he sets me in dark places as the dead of old; 7 he walls me in so I cannot get out; he weights my copper: 8 also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer; 9 he walls in my ways with hewn; he bends my paths: 10 he is to me as a bear lurking - a lion in coverts: 11 he turns aside my ways and tears me; he sets me desolate; 12 he bends his bow and stations me as a target for the arrow; 13 he has the sons of his quiver enter my reins. 14 I am a ridicule to all my people; and their strumming all the day: 15 he satiates me with bitternesses; he satiates me with wormwood: 16 and he crushes my teeth with gravel; he covers me with ashes. 17 And you remove my soul far from shalom; I forget the good. 18 And I say, My perpetuity and my hope from Yah Veh destructs; 19 remember my humiliation and my persecution - the wormwood and the rosh.
