Lamentations 3:52
Verse 52 of 66. The 3rd of 5 chapters in Lamentations, in The Major Prophets.
48My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49My eye pours down and doesn’t cease, without any intermission,
50until the LORD looks down, and sees from heaven.
51My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
53They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
54Waters flowed over my head. I said, “I am cut off.”
55I called on your name, LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
56You heard my voice: “Don’t hide your ear from my sighing, and my cry.”
