Lamentations 3:8

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

But and when I cry and pray, he hath excluded my prayer.

See the chapter Copy

Lo! I suffering violence shall cry, and no man shall hear me; I shall cry loud, and there is none that deemeth me worthy to be heard.

I shall cry to thee, and thou shalt not hear me; I stand, and thou behold-est not me.

My God, I shall cry by day, and thou shalt not hear; and by night, and not to unwisdom to me.

Lord God of virtues, how long shalt thou be wroth on the prayer of thy servants?

Thou coveredest in strong venge-ance, and smitedest us; thou killedest, and sparedest not.

Thou settedest a cloud to thee, that prayer pass not.

How long, Lord, shall I cry, and thou shalt not hear? I suffering violence shall cry on high to thee, and thou shalt not save?

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, and said, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani, that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

For each that asketh, taketh, and he that seeketh, findeth; and to a man that knocketh, it shall be opened.
