Lamentations 3:54

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners,

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”

For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

where then is my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

“You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?” ’

Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.

“Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name.

For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.

“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?

For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”

They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.

But Zion said, “Yahweh has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”

“At that time,” says Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”

He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We are completely cut off.’

I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’ ” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.

So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
