Lamentations 3:52–53

52 Those who were my enemies without cause

hunted me like a bird.

53 They tried to end my life in a pit

and threw stones at me;

52 “I have been hunted like a bird

by those who were my enemies without cause;

53 they flung me alive into the pit

and cast stones on me;

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.

52 My enemies, whom I have never harmed,

hunted me down like a bird.

53 They threw me into a pit

and dropped stones on me.

52 My enemies without cause

Hunted me down like a bird.

53 They silenced my life in the pit

And threw stones at me.

52 Those who are my enemies for no reason

hunted me like a bird.

53 They tried to kill me in a pit;

they threw stones at me.

52 They have chased me sore like a bird, they that are mine enemies without cause. 53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.

52 They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird. 53 They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me.

52 “Those who were my enemies for no reason hunted me like a bird. 

53 They threw me alive into a pit and threw rocks at me. 

52 For no apparent reason, my enemies

hunted me like a bird.

53 They dropped me alive into a pit

and threw stones at me.

52 Those who were my enemies without cause

have hunted me like a bird;

53 they flung me alive into a pit

and hurled stones on me;

52 My enemies hunt me without cause,

like a bird.

53 They have silenced me in a pit,

they have thrown a stone at me.

52 Those who were my enemies for no reason at all

hunted me down as if I were a bird.

53 They tried to end my life

by throwing me into a deep pit.

They threw stones down at me.
