Lamentations 3:62–66

62 what my enemies whisper and mutter

against me all day long.

63 Look at them! Sitting or standing,

they mock me in their songs.

64 Pay them back what they deserve, Lord,

for what their hands have done.

65 Put a veil over their hearts,

and may your curse be on them!

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them

from under the heavens of the Lord.

62 The lips and thoughts of my assailants

are against me all the day long.

63 Behold their sitting and their rising;

I am the object of their taunts.

64 “You will repay them, O Lord,

according to the work of their hands.

65 You will give them dullness of heart;

your curse will be on them.

66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them

from under your heavens, O Lord.”

62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

64 Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.

65 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

66 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.

62 My enemies whisper and mutter

as they plot against me all day long.

63 Look at them! Whether they sit or stand,

I am the object of their mocking songs.

64 Pay them back, Lord,

for all the evil they have done.

65 Give them hard and stubborn hearts,

and then let your curse fall on them!

66 Chase them down in your anger,

destroying them beneath the Lord’s heavens.

62 The words and thoughts of my enemies

are against me all the time.

63 Look! In everything they do

they make fun of me with songs.

64 Pay them back, Lord,

for what they have done.

65 Make them stubborn,

and put your curse on them.

66 Chase them in anger, Lord,

and destroy them from under your heavens.

62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 63 Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song. 64 Thou wilt render unto them a recompense, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands. 65 Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them. 66 Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.

62 the lips of those that rise up against me and their meditation against me all the day. 63 Behold thou their sitting down and their rising up: I am their song. 64 Render unto them a recompence, O Jehovah, according to the work of their hands; 65 give them obduracy of heart, thy curse unto them; 66 pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Jehovah.

62 The words and thoughts of those who attack me 

are directed against me all day long. 

63 Look at them! Whether they are sitting or standing, 

they make fun of me in their songs. 

64 Pay them back, O Lord, for what they deserve, 

for what their own hands have done. 

65 Make them stubborn. Let your curse be on them. 

66 Pursue them in anger, and wipe them out from under the Lord’s heaven.” 

62 The slander and murmuring of my opponents

attack me all day long.

63 When they sit and when they rise, look,

I am mocked by their songs.

64 You will pay them back what they deserve, Lord,

according to the work of their hands.

65 You will give them a heart filled with anguish.

May Your curse be on them!

66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them

under Your heavens.

62 The whispers and murmurs of my assailants

are against me all day long.

63 Whether they sit or rise—see,

I am the object of their taunt songs.

64 Pay them back for their deeds, O Lord,

according to the work of their hands!

65 Give them anguish of heart;

your curse be on them!

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them

from under the Lord’s heavens.

62 The lips and meditation of my assailants

are against me all day long.

63 Look at their sitting and their standing,

I am their mocking song.

64 Return to them what is deserved, O Yahweh,

according to the work of their hands.

65 Give them a stubborn heart;

curse them!

66 Pursue them in anger and destroy them

from under the heavens of Yahweh.

62 You have heard my enemies

whispering among themselves.

They speak against me all day long.

63 Just look at them sitting and standing there!

They sing and make fun of me.

64 Lord, pay them back.

Punish them for what their hands have done.

65 Cover their minds with a veil.

Put a curse on them!

66 Lord, get angry with them and hunt them down.

Wipe them off the face of the earth.

62 The lips of my assailants and their whispering

Are against me all day long.

63 Look on their sitting and their rising;

I am their mocking song.

64 You will recompense them, O Lord,

According to the work of their hands.

65 You will give them hardness of heart,

Your curse will be on them.

66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them

From under the heavens of the Lord!
