Lamentations  


5 : 1 Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!
5 : 2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
5 : 3 We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.
5 : 4 We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.
5 : 5 Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.
5 : 6 We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
5 : 7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.
5 : 8 Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
5 : 9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.
5 : 10 Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
5 : 11 They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
5 : 12 Princes were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.
5 : 13 Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths stumbled under loads of wood.
5 : 14 Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music.
5 : 15 The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
5 : 16 The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!
5 : 17 Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;
5 : 18 Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.
5 : 19 You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
5 : 20 Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
5 : 21 Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,
5 : 22 Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.
