TSK · Lamentations 3:59

For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.

By David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have integrity, and I trust in the LORD without wavering.

Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!

Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying,“Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! Let’s remove Jeremiah from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more.”

Jeremiah Complains about His Lot and The Lord Responds I said,“Oh, mother, how I regret that you ever gave birth to me! I am always starting arguments and quarrels with the people of this land. I have not lent money to anyone and I have not borrowed from anyone. Yet all of these people are treating me with contempt.”

Jeremiah Complains about the Reaction to His Ministry LORD, you coerced me into being a prophet, and I allowed you to do it. You overcame my resistance and prevailed over me. Now I have become a constant laughingstock. Everyone ridicules me.

to defraud a person in a lawsuit– the Lord does not approve of such things!

When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened no retaliation, but committed himself to God who judges justly.
