    Lamentations 5
    •   Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach.
    •   Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
    •   We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.
    •   We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us.
    •   Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
    •   We have given the hand to the Egyptians, To the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
    •   Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities.
    •   Servants rule over us: There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
    •   We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
    • 10   Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
    • 11   They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
    • 12   Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored.
    • 13   The young men bare the mill; The children stumbled under the wood.
    • 14   The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.
    • 15   The joy of our heart is ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.
    • 16   The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned.
    • 17   For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;
    • 18   For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk on it.
    • 19   You, Yahweh, remain forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
    • 20   Why do you forget us forever, And forsake us so long time?
    • 21   Turn us to yourself, Yahweh, and we shall be turned. Renew our days as of old.
    • 22   But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.
