Lamentations 3:8

A Conservative Version

Yea, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

See the chapter Copy

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent.

I cry to thee, and thou do not answer me. I stand up, and thou gaze at me.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a great voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is, My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou will not hear? I cry out to thee of violence, and thou will not save.

Thou have covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

O LORD God of hosts, how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou have covered with anger and pursued us. Thou have slain; thou have not pitied.

For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
