October 24, 2026, Lamentations 3:19-36 19  Remember my affliction and my wanderings,      the wormwood and the gall! 20  My soul continually remembers it      and is bowed down within me. 21  But this I call to mind,      and therefore I have hope: 22  The steadfast love of the  Lord  never ceases; [ c ]      his mercies never come to an end; 23  they are new every morning;      great is your faithfulness. 24  “The  Lord  is my portion,” says my soul,      “therefore I will hope in him.” 25  The  Lord  is good to those who wait for him,      to the soul who seeks him. 26  It is good that one should wait quietly      for the salvation of the  Lord . 27  It is good for a man that he bear      ...

October 23, 2026, Lamentations 3:1-18 Great Is Your Faithfulness 3  I am the man who has seen affliction      under the rod of his wrath; 2  he has driven and brought me      into darkness without any light; 3  surely against me he turns his hand      again and again the whole day long. 4  He has made my flesh and my skin waste away;      he has broken my bones; 5  he has besieged and enveloped me      with bitterness and tribulation; 6  he has made me dwell in darkness      like the dead of long ago. 7  He has walled me about so that I cannot escape;      he has made my chains heavy; 8  though I call and cry for help,      he shuts out my prayer; 9  he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;      he has made my paths cr...

October 22, 2026, Lamentations 2:1-22 The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity 2  How the Lord in his anger      has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earth      the splendor of Israel; he has not remembered his footstool      in the day of his anger. 2  The Lord has swallowed up without mercy      all the habitations of Jacob; in his wrath he has broken down      the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought down to the ground in dishonor      the kingdom and its rulers. 3  He has cut down in fierce anger      all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn from them his right hand      in the face of the enemy; he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,      consuming all around. 4...

October 21, 2026, Lamentations 1:1-22 How Lonely Sits the City 1  How lonely sits the city      that was full of people! How like a widow has she become,      she who was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces      has become a slave. 2  She weeps bitterly in the night,      with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers      she has none to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;      they have become her enemies. 3  Judah has gone into exile because of affliction [ a ]      and hard servitude; she dwells now among the nations,      but finds no resting place; her pursuers have all overtaken her      in the midst of her distress. [ b ] 4  The roads to Zion mourn,      for ...
