Lamentations 3:66

 1  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 crooked.  10  He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;  11  he turned aside my steps and  tore me to pieces;  he has made me desolate;  12  he bent his bow  and set me as a target for his arrow.  13 He drove into my kidneys  the arrows of his quiver;  14  I have become the laughingstock of all peoples,  the object of their taunts all day long.  15  He has filled me with bitterness; he has sated me with  wormwood.  16  He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and  made me cower in ashes;  17 my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness  is;  18  so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the Lord.”  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;   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 the yoke  in his youth.  28 Let him  sit alone in silence when it is laid on him;  29  let him put his mouth in the dust— there may yet be hope;  30  let him give his cheek to the one who strikes, and let him be filled with insults.  31  For the Lord will not cast off forever,  32 but, though he  cause grief,  he will have compassion  according to the abundance of his steadfast love;  33  for he does not afflict from his heart or  grieve the children of men.  34 To crush underfoot all  the prisoners of the earth,  35  to deny a man justice in the presence of the Most High,  36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit,  the Lord does not approve.  37  Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?  38  Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?  39  Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins?  40 Let us test and examine our ways,  and return to the Lord!  41  Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:  42  “We have transgressed and  rebelled, and you have not forgiven.  43 “You have wrapped yourself with anger and pursued us,  killing without pity;  44  you have wrapped yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through.  45  You have made us scum and garbage among the peoples.  46  “All our enemies open their mouths against us;  47  panic and pitfall have come upon us, devastation and  destruction;  48  my eyes flow with rivers of tears because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.  49  “My eyes will flow without ceasing, without respite,  50  until the Lord from heaven looks down and sees;  51 my eyes cause me grief at the fate of all the daughters of my city.  52  “I have been hunted  like a bird by those who were my enemies  without cause;  53  they flung me alive into the pit  and cast stones on me;  54  water closed over my head; I said,  ‘I am lost.’  55  “I called on your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit;  56  you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear to my cry for help!’  57  You came near when I called on you; you said,  ‘Do not fear!’  58 “You have  taken up my cause,  O Lord; you have  redeemed my life.  59 You have seen the wrong done to me,  O Lord; judge my cause.  60 You have seen all their vengeance, all  their plots against me.  61  “You have heard their taunts, O Lord, all  their plots against me.  62 The lips and thoughts  of my assailants are against me all the day long.  63  Behold their sitting and their rising;  I am the object of their taunts.  64  “You will repay them,  O Lord,  according to the work of their hands.  65 You will give them  dullness of heart; your curse will be  on them.  66 You will pursue them  in anger and  destroy them from under  your heavens, O Lord.” 

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
