Lamentations 3:54

Water rushes over my head,
I say: I am cut off.
[The eighteenth Hebrew letter is: צ – tsade. The character depicts a fishhook or a man bowing in humility and often symbolizes righteousness. The words "hunted me frantically," "have they finished," and "rushes" begin with this letter. The verb hunt is repeated twice in verse 52, which reinforces the intensity of the persecution.]
