New International Version
Lamentations 3:49-58
New International Version
49 My eyes will flow unceasingly,
without relief,(A)
50 until the Lord looks down
from heaven and sees.(B)
51 What I see brings grief to my soul
because of all the women of my city.
52 Those who were my enemies without cause
hunted me like a bird.(C)
53 They tried to end my life in a pit(D)
and threw stones at me;
54 the waters closed over my head,(E)
and I thought I was about to perish.(F)

Lamentations 3:49-58
King James Version
49 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.
50 Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
51 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
56 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
