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.
