‘Baruch, you have said: It is very bad for me. The Lord has given me sorrow along with my pain. I am very tired. I am worn out because of my suffering. I can’t find rest.’
I hear the crashing of the water\par as water from deep in the earth\par spills over the waterfall.\par Lord, your waves are crashing\par all around me and washing over me! {\cf2\super [262]} \par
If my head was filled with water,\par and if my eyes were a fountain of tears,\par I would cry day and night\par for my people that have been destroyed.\par
The Lord sent fire from above.\par That fire went down into my bones.\par He stretched out a net for my feet.\par He turned me all the way around.\par He made me into a wasteland.\par I am sick all day.\par
“Look at how evil my enemies are.\par Then you can treat them\par the same way you treated me\par because of all my sins.\par Do this because I am groaning\par again and again.\par Do this because my heart is sick.”\par
