예레미야애가 3장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 I am the ma, that (thorow the rodd of his wrath) haue experiece of misery.
- 2 He droue me forth, and led me: yee into darcknesse, but not in to light.
- 3 Agaynst me only he turneth his honde, & layeth it euer vpon me.
- 4 My flesh & my skynne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he brussed.
- 5 He hath buylded rounde aboute me, & closed me in with gall and trauayle.
- 6 He hath set me in darcknesse, as they that be deed for euer.
- 7 He hath so hedged me in, that I can not get out, & hath layed heuy lynckes vpon me.
- 8 Though I crie & call piteously, yet heareth he not my prayer.
- 9 He hath stopped vp my wayes with foure squared stones, & made my pathes croked.
- 10 He layeth waite for me like a Bere, and as a lyon in a hole.
- 11 He hath marred my wayes, and broke me in peces, he hath layed me waist altogether.
- 12 He hath bent his bowe, and made me as it were a marck to shute at.
- 13 The arowes of his quyuer hath he shot, euen in to my reynes.
- 14 I am laughed to scorne of all my people, they make songes vpon me all ye daye loge.
- 15 He hath fylled me with bytternesse, & geuen me wormwod to drynke.
- 16 He hath smytten my teth in peces, & rolled me in the dust.
- 17 He hath put my soule out of rest, I forget all good thinges.
- 18 I thought in my self: I am vndone, there is no hope for me in the LORDE.
- 19 O remembre yet my mysery and my trouble, the wormwod and the gall.
- 20 Yee thou shalt remebre them, for my soule melteth awaye in me.
- 21 Whyle I cosidre these thinges in my hert, I get a hope agayne.
- 22 Namely, that the mercies of the LORDE are not clene gone, & that his louynge kyndnesse ceasseth not.
- 23 His faithfulnes is greate, and renueth it self as the mornynge.
- 24 The LORDE is my porcion (saieth my soule) therfore wil I hope in him.
- 25 O how good is the LORDE vnto the, that put their trust in him, and to the soule that seketh after him?
- 26 O how good is it with stilnesse to wate and tarie, for the health of the LORDE?
- 27 O how good is it for a man, to take the yock vpon him from his youth vp?
- 28 He sitteth alone, he holdeth him still. and dwelleth quietly by him self.
- 29 He layeth his face vpon the earth, yf (percase) there happen to be eny hope.
- 30 He offreth his cheke to the smyter, he will be content with reproues.
- 31 For the LORDE wil not forsake for euer.
- 32 But though he do cast of, yet (acordinge to ye multitude of his mercies) he receaueth to grace agayne.
- 33 For he doth not plage, & cast out the children of men from his herte.
- 34 To treade all the presoners of the earth vnder his fete.
- 35 To moue the iudgment of man before the most highest.
- 36 To condemne a man in his cause: The LORDE hath no pleasure in soch thinges.
- 37 What is he then that saieth: there shulde somthinge be done without the LORDES comaundement?
- 38 Out of the mouth of the most highest goeth not euell and good.
- 39 Wherfore them murmureth the lyuinge man? let him murmoure at his owne synne,
- 40 Let vs loke well vpon oure owne waies, & remembre oure selues, and turne agayne to ye LORDE.
- 41 Let vs lift vp oure hertes with oure hondes vnto the LORDE, that is in heauen.
- 42 We haue bene dyssemblers & haue offended, wilt thou therfore not be intreated?
- 43 Thou hast couered vs in thy wrath, & persecuted vs, thou hast slayne vs without eny fauoure.
- 44 Thou hast hyd thy self in a cloude, that oure prayer shulde not go thorow.
- 45 Thou hast made vs outcastes, and to be despysed amonge the Heithen.
- 46 All oure enemies gape vpon vs.
- 47 Feare and snare is come vpon vs, yee despite and destruccion.
- 48 Whole ryuers of water gu?she out of myne eyes, for the greate hurte of my people.
- 49 Myne eyes runne, and can not ceasse, for there is no rest.
- 50 O LORDE, when wilt thou loke downe fro heauen, and considre?
- 51 Myne eye breaketh my herte, because of all the doughters of my cite.
- 52 Myne enemies hunted me out sharpely like a byrde, yee and that with out a cause.
- 53 They haue put downe my life in to a pitte, and layed a stone vpon me.
- 54 They poured water vpon my heade, then thought I: now am I vndone.
- 55 I called vpon thy name (O LORDE) out of the depe pitte.
- 56 Thou hast herde my voyce, & hast not turned awaye thine eares fro my sighinge and crienge.
- 57 Thou hast enclyned yi self vnto me, whe I called vpon the, & haist sayde: feare not.
- 58 Thou (O LORDE) hast mayntened the cause of my soule, and hast redemed my life.
- 59 O LORDE, thou hast sene my blasphemers, take thou my cause vpon the.
- 60 Thou hast well considred how they go aboute to do me harme, & that all their councels are agaynst me.
- 61 Thou hast herde their despytefull wordes (O LORDE) yee and all their ymaginacions agaynst me.
- 62 The lippes of myne enemies, & their deuyces that they take agaynst me, all the daye longe.
- 63 Thou seist also their sittinge downe and their rysinge vp, they make their songes of nothinge but of me.
- 64 Rewarde them (O LORDE) acordinge to the workes of their hondes.
- 65 Geue them ye thinge, that their owne herte is afrayed of: euen thy curse.
- 66 Persecute them, (O LORDE) with thy indignacion, & rote them out from vnder the heauen.
