Lamentations 3:8

Tree of Life Version

Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.

See the chapter Copy

“Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

“I cry out to You, but You do not answer me; I stand up, but You only look at me.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Distant from my salvation are the words of my groaning.

O God, restore us, make Your face shine, and we will be saved.

You covered Yourself with anger and pursued us. You have slain without pity.

You shrouded Yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through.

How long, Adonai, have I cried for help, yet You do not hear? I cry out to You—‘Violence!’ yet You do not deliver.

About the ninth hour Yeshua cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me?”

For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.’
