Lamentations 3:44
42 “We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
43 You have covered Yourself in anger and pursued us; You have killed without pity.
You have covered Yourself with a cloud that no prayer can pass through.
45 You have made us scum and refuse among the nations.
46 All our enemies open their mouths against us.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
