    Lamentations 5
    • 1   Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
    • 2   Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
    • 3   We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
    • 4   We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
    • 5   We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
    • 6   We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
    • 7   Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
    • 8   Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
    • 9   We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
    • 10   Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
    • 11   They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
    • 12   The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancients.
    • 13   They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood.
    • 14   The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers.
    • 15   The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning.
    • 16   The crown is fallen from our head: woe to us, because we have sinned.
    • 17   Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim.
    • 18   For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.
    • 19   But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation.
    • 20   Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time?
    • 21   Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning.
    • 22   But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry with us.
