Lamentations 3:56-66 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
56
You heard my plea:1 "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief."
57
You came near2 when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear."3
58
O Lord, you took up my case;4 you redeemed my life.5
59
You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me.6 Uphold my cause!7
60
You have seen the depth of their vengeance, all their plots against me.8
61
O LORD, you have heard their insults,9 all their plots against me--
62
what my enemies whisper and mutter against me all day long.10
63
Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.11
64
Pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, for what their hands have done.12
65
Put a veil over their hearts,13 and may your curse be on them!
66
Pursue14 them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
