Job 19:6, Lam 1:13, 3:2-66, Hos 7:12, Mat 6:13 | ESV | STEP | know then that God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me.

13 “From on high he ^bsent fire;
into my bones ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew bones and} he made it descend;
^dhe spread a net for my feet;
he turned me back;
^ehe has left me stunned,
faint all the day long.

Lamentations 3:2-66

2 he has driven and brought me
^finto darkness without any light;
3 surely against me he turns his hand
again and again the whole day long.
4 He has made my flesh and my skin waste away;
^ghe has broken my bones;
5 ^hhe has besieged and enveloped me
with ⁱbitterness and tribulation;
6 ^jhe has made me dwell in darkness
like the dead of long ago.
7 ^kHe has walled me about so that ^lI cannot escape;
he has made my chains heavy;
8 though ^mI call and cry for help,
he shuts out my prayer;
9 ⁿhe has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;
he has made my paths crooked.
10 ^oHe is a bear lying in wait for me,
a lion in hiding;
11 ^phe turned aside my steps and ^qtore me to pieces;
^rhe has made me desolate;
12 ^she bent his bow ^tand set me
as a target for his arrow.
13 He drove into my kidneys
^uthe arrows of his quiver;
14 ^vI have become the laughingstock of all peoples,
^wthe object of their taunts all day long.
15 ^xHe has filled me with bitterness;
he has sated me with ^ywormwood.
16 ^zHe has made my teeth grind on gravel,
and ^aamade me cower in ashes;
17 my soul is bereft of peace;
I have forgotten what happiness ^{▼▼Hebrew good} is;
18 ^acso I say, “My endurance has perished;
so has my hope from the Lord.”
19 ^adRemember my affliction and my wanderings,
^aethe wormwood and ^afthe gall!
20 My soul continually remembers it
^agand is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and ^ahtherefore I have hope:
22 ^aiThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; ^{▼▼Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Because of the steadfast love of the Lord, we are not cut off}
^akhis mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new ^alevery morning;
^amgreat is your faithfulness.
24 ^an“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
^ao“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who ^apwait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26 ^aqIt is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
27 ^arIt is good for a man that he bear
the yoke ^asin his youth.
28 Let him ^atsit alone in silence
when it is laid on him;
29 ^aulet him put his mouth in the dust—
there may yet be hope;
30 ^avlet him give his cheek to the one who strikes,
and let him be filled with insults.
31 ^awFor the Lord will not
cast off forever,
32 but, though he ^axcause grief, ^ayhe will have compassion
^azaccording to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33 ^bafor he does not afflict from his heart
or ^bbgrieve the children of men.
34 To crush underfoot
all ^bcthe prisoners of the earth,
35 ^bdto deny a man justice
in the presence of the Most High,
36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit,
^bethe Lord does not approve.
37 ^bfWho has spoken and it came to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?
38 ^bgIs it not from the mouth of the Most High
that good and bad come?
39 ^bhWhy should a living man complain,
a man, about the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us test and examine our ways,
^biand return to the Lord!
41 ^bjLet us lift up our hearts and hands
to God in heaven:
42 ^bk“We have transgressed and ^blrebelled,
and you have not forgiven.
43 “You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us,
^bmkilling without pity;
44 ^bnyou have wrapped yourself with a cloud
so that no prayer can pass through.
45 ^boYou have made us scum and garbage
among the peoples.
46 ^bp“All our enemies
open their mouths against us;
47 ^bqpanic and pitfall have come upon us,
devastation and ^brdestruction;
48 ^bsmy eyes flow with rivers of tears
because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
49 ^bt“My eyes will flow without ceasing,
without respite,
50 ^buuntil the Lord from heaven
looks down and sees;
51 my eyes cause me grief
at the fate of all the daughters of my city.
52 ^bv“I have been hunted ^bwlike a bird
by those who were my enemies ^bxwithout cause;
53 ^bythey flung me alive into the pit
^bzand cast stones on me;
54 ^cawater closed over my head;
I said, ^cb‘I am lost.’
55 ^cc“I called on your name, O Lord,
from the depths of the pit;
56 ^cdyou heard my plea, ‘Do not close
your ear to my cry for help!’
57 ^ceYou came near when I called on you;
you said, ^cf‘Do not fear!’
58 “You have ^cgtaken up my cause, ^chO Lord;
you have ^ciredeemed my life.
59 You have seen the wrong done to me, ^cjO Lord;
judge my cause.
60 You have seen all their vengeance,
all ^cktheir plots against me.
61 ^cl“You have heard their taunts, O Lord,
all ^cmtheir plots against me.
62 The lips and thoughts ^cnof my assailants
are against me all the day long.
63 ^coBehold their sitting and their rising;
^cpI am the object of their taunts.
64 ^cq“You will repay them, ^{▼▼Or Repay them} O Lord,
^csaccording to the work of their hands.
65 You will give them ^{▼▼Or Give them} dullness of heart;
your curse will be ^{▼▼Or place your curse} on them.
66 You will pursue them ^{▼▼Or Pursue them} in anger and ^cwdestroy them
from under ^cxyour heavens, O Lord.” ^{▼▼Syriac (compare Septuagint, Vulgate); Hebrew the heavens of the Lord}

Hosea 7:12

12 As they go, ^czI will spread over them my net;
I will bring them down like birds of the heavens;
^daI will discipline them ^dbaccording to the report made to their congregation.

Matthew 6:13

13 And ^dclead us not into temptation,
but ^dddeliver us from ^deevil. ^{▼▼Or the evil one; some manuscripts add For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen}
