Lamentations 3:52 Cross References - MSTC

⁵² {Tsadi} Mine enemies hunted me out sharply, like a bird; yea, and that without a cause.

¹⁰ Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee this day into mine hand, in the cave. When they bade kill thee, mine eye had compassion on thee: and I said, 'I will not lay my hands on my master, for he is the LORD's anointed.' ¹¹ And moreover my father, see yet the tip of thy coat in my hand. And inasmuch as I killed thee not too, when I cut off the tip of thy coat; understand and see that there is neither evil nor rebelliousness in me, and that I have not sinned against thee. And yet thou huntest after my soul to take it. ¹² The LORD be judge between thee and me, and the LORD avenge me of thee. But mine hand be not upon thee. ¹³ According to the old proverb, wickedness shall proceed out of the wicked: But mine hand be not upon thee. ¹⁴ After whom art thou come out, thou king of Israel? After whom chasest thou? Even after a dead dog, and after a flea! ¹⁵ The LORD be judge, and judge between thee and me, and see and plead my cause, and judge me free out of thine hand."

²⁸ Forgive the trespass of thine handmaid that the LORD may make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and there could none evil be found in thee in all thy life. ²⁹ And if any man rise to persecute thee and to seek thy soul, the soul of my lord be bound in a bundle of life with the LORD thy God. And the souls of thy enemies be slung in the middle of a sling.

¹⁸ And he said thereto, "Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in mine hand? ¹⁹ Now hear therefore, my lord king, the words of thy servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, he shall smell the savour of sacrifice. But and if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD. For they have cast me out from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, 'Hence and go serve other gods.' ²⁰ And yet I hope my blood shall not fall to the earth before the face of the LORD, though the king of Israel be come out to hunt a flea, as men hunt the partridges in the mountains."

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?

¹⁹ O let not them that are mine enemies triumph over me ungodly; neither let them wink with their eyes, that hate me without a cause.

This man verily laboureth not for peace of the people, but mischief." ⁵ Zedekiah the king answered and said, "Lo, he is in your hands, for the king may deny you nothing." ⁶ Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that dwelt in the fore entry of the prison. And they let down Jeremiah with cords into a dungeon, where there was no water, but mire.
