Lamentations 1:7

7 Jerusalem remembers
in the days of her affliction and wandering
(A)all the precious things
that were hers from (B)days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
and there was none to help her,
her foes gloated over her;
they (C)mocked at her downfall.

English Standard Version
5 I consider (A)the days of old,
the years long ago.
6 I said,[a] “Let me remember my (B)song in the night;
let me (C)meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7 “Will the Lord (D)spurn forever,
and never again (E)be favorable?
8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his (F)promises at an end for all time?
9 (G)Has God forgotten to be gracious?
(H)Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

And on earth he let you see his great fire, and (H)you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because (I)he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them[a] and brought you out of Egypt (J)with his own presence, by his great power,

The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed
5 Let me sing for my beloved
my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had (A)a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with (B)choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and (C)he looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4 (D)What more was there to do for my vineyard,
that I have not done in it?
(E)When I looked for it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?

Job 29:2-30:1
English Standard Version
2 “Oh, that I were as in the months of old,
as in the days when God watched over me,
3 when his (A)lamp shone upon my head,
and by his light I walked through darkness,
4 as I was in my prime,[a]
when the (B)friendship of God was upon my tent,
5 when the Almighty was yet with me,
when my (C)children were all around me,
6 when my steps were (D)washed with (E)butter,
and (F)the rock poured out for me streams of (G)oil!
7 When I went out to (H)the gate of the city,
when I prepared my seat in the square,
8 the young men saw me and withdrew,
and the aged rose and stood;
9 the princes refrained from talking
and (I)laid their hand on their mouth;
10 the voice of the nobles was hushed,
and their (J)tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I (K)delivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 (L)The blessing of him who was (M)about to perish came upon me,
and I caused (N)the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I (O)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and (P)a turban.
15 I was (Q)eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out (R)the cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I (S)broke (T)the fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
18 (U)Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my (V)nest,
and I shall multiply my days as (W)the sand,
19 my (X)roots spread out to (Y)the waters,
with the dew all night on my (Z)branches,
20 my glory fresh with me,
and my (AA)bow ever (AB)new in my hand.’
21 “Men listened to me and waited
and kept silence for my counsel.
22 After I spoke they did not speak again,
and my word (AC)dropped upon them.
23 They waited for me as for the rain,
and they (AD)opened their mouths as for the (AE)spring rain.
24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence,
and (AF)the light of my (AG)face they did not cast down.
25 I chose their way and sat as chief,
and I lived like (AH)a king among his troops,
like one who comforts mourners.
30 “But now they (AI)laugh at me,
men who are (AJ)younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
