Lamentations 3:49–53 · Berean Standard Bible

49 My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,

50 until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.

51 My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

52 Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.

53 They dropped me alive into a pit and cast stones upon me.
