Lamentations 3:42
40 Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.
41 Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
“We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
43 You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
