예레미야애가 3장 BSB
- 1 I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.
- 2 He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness instead of light.
- 3 Indeed, He keeps turning His hand against me all day long.
- 4 He has worn away my flesh and skin; He has shattered my bones.
- 5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.
- 6 He has made me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
- 7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; He has weighed me down with chains.
- 8 Even when I cry out and plead for help, He shuts out my prayer.
- 9 He has barred my ways with cut stones; He has made my paths crooked.
- 10 He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.
- 11 He forced me off my path and tore me to pieces; He left me without help.
- 12 He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow.
- 13 He pierced my kidneys with His arrows.
- 14 I am a laughingstock to all my people; they mock me in song all day long.
- 15 He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood.
- 16 He has ground my teeth with gravel and trampled me in the dust.
- 17 My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
- 18 So I say, “My strength has perished, along with my hope from the LORD.”
- 19 Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
- 20 Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
- 21 Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
- 22 Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
- 23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
- 24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
- 25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
- 26 It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
- 27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
- 28 Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it upon him.
- 29 Let him bury his face in the dust— perhaps there is still hope.
- 30 Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
- 31 For the Lord will not cast us off forever.
- 32 Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.
- 33 For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
- 34 To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,
- 35 to deny a man justice before the Most High,
- 36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
- 37 Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
- 38 Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
- 39 Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?
- 40 Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
- 41 Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
- 42 “We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
- 43 You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
- 44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
- 45 You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
- 46 All our enemies open their mouths against us.
- 47 Panic and pitfall have come upon us— devastation and destruction.
- 48 Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.
- 49 My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,
- 50 until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.
- 51 My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
- 52 Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
- 53 They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
- 54 The waters flowed over my head, and I thought I was going to die.
- 55 I called on Your name, O LORD, out of the depths of the Pit.
- 56 You heard my plea: “Do not ignore my cry for relief.”
- 57 You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”
- 58 You defend my cause, O Lord; You redeem my life.
- 59 You have seen, O LORD, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
- 60 You have seen all their malice, all their plots against me.
- 61 O LORD, You have heard their insults, all their plots against me—
- 62 the slander and murmuring of my assailants against me all day long.
- 63 When they sit and when they rise, see how they mock me in song.
- 64 You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
- 65 Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!
- 66 You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.
