Lamentations 3:42-51 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

42. We have rebelled and been obstinate;you have not forgiven us.

43. You wrapped yourself in wrath and pursued us,killing without pity;

44. You wrapped yourself in a cloud,which no prayer could pierce.

45. You have made us filth and rubbishamong the peoples.

46. They have opened their mouths against us,all our enemies;

47. Panic and the pit have been our lot,desolation and destruction;

48. My eyes stream with tears over the destructionof the daughter of my people.

49. My eyes will flow without ceasing,without rest,

50. Until the Lord from heavenlooks down and sees.

51. I am tormented by the sightof all the daughters of my city.
