43 "You have covered yourself with anger and pursued us; you have slain without pity.
43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
43 "You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us, killing without pity;
43 "You lost your temper with us, holding nothing back. You chased us and cut us down without mercy.
43 You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and not pitied.
43 "You have engulfed us with your anger, chased us down, and slaughtered us without mercy.
46 "All our enemies have opened their mouths wide against us.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
46 "All our enemies open their mouths against us;
46 "Our enemies shout abuse, their mouths full of derision, spitting invective.
46 All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.
46 "All our enemies have spoken out against us.
(Read Lamentations 3:42-54)
The more the prophet looked on the desolations, the more he was grieved. Here is one word of comfort. While they continued weeping, they continued waiting; and neither did nor would expect relief and succour from any but the Lord.
