The words “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath”
"여호와의 노하신 매로 인하여 고난 당한 자는 내로다" 하는 말
Lamentations 3:1–21: a lament’s words. The speaker (“I”) says, “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long. He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones. He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead. He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy. Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer. He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked. He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in hiding. He has turned away my path, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate. He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys. I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long. He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood. He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes. You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity. I said, ‘My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD.’ Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness. My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me. This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.” The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 3:1 (여호와의 노하신 매) where WEB reads “the rod of his wrath”, names the Lord at 3:17 (주께서) where WEB says “You”, and does not close the sentence at the end of 3:21 (중심에 회상한즉 오히려 소망이 있사옴은), where WEB closes it.
