43 “You have covered yourself with anger and pursued(C) us;
you have slain without pity.(D)
44 You have covered yourself with a cloud(E)
so that no prayer(F) can get through.(G)
45 You have made us scum(H) and refuse
among the nations.
46 “All our enemies have opened their mouths
wide(I) against us.(J)
47 We have suffered terror and pitfalls,(K)
ruin and destruction.(L)”

Lamentations 3:42-54
King James Version
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
50 Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
