 [34 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/34) To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
 
 [35 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/35) To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,*
 
 [36 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/36) To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.*
 
 [37 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/37) ¶ Who *is* he *that* saith, and it cometh to pass, *when* the Lord commandeth *it* not?
 
 [38 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/38) Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
 
 [39 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/39) Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?*
 
 [40 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/40) Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/41) Let us lift up our heart with *our* hands unto God in the heavens.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/42) We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/43) Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/44) Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that *our* prayer should not pass through.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/45) Thou hast made us *as* the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
 
 [46 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/46) All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
 
 [47 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/47) Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/48) Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
 
 [49 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/49) Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
 
 [50 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/50) Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
 
 [51 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/51) Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.**
 
 [52 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/52) Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
 
 [53 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/53) They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
 
 [54 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/54) Waters flowed over mine head; *then* I said, I am cut off.
 
 [55 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/55) ¶ I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
 
 [56 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/56) Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
 
 [57 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/57) Thou drewest near in the day *that* I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
