Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

42We have done wrong and rebelled;

You have not pardoned.

43You have covered Yourself with anger

And pursued us;

You have slain and have not spared.

44You have veiled Yourself with a cloud

So that no prayer can pass through.

45You have made us mere refuse and rubbish

In the midst of the peoples.

46All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47Panic and pitfall have come upon us,

Devastation and destruction;

48My eyes run down with streams of water

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49My eyes flow unceasingly,

Without stopping,

50Until the Lord looks down

And sees from heaven.

51My eyes bring pain to my soul

Because of all the daughters of my city.

52My enemies without reason

Hunted me down like a bird;

53They have silenced me in the pit

And have thrown stones on me.

54Waters flowed over my head;

I said, “I am cut off!”
