Lamentations 3:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 3
The Enduring Love of the Lord
1 [a]I am a man who has known affliction
under the rod of God’s wrath.
2 He has led me and forced me to walk
in darkness, not in the light.
3 Against me alone he has turned his hand
again and again, throughout the day.
Footnotes
- Lamentations 3:1 The repeated use of the word he in ascribing the many ways that God has inflicted punishment on his wayward people emphasizes their repeated indiscretions that wore down his divine patience resulting in his divine retribution.
