| Lamentations 5:1 | Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us; behold, and see our reproach.
|
| Lamentations 5:2 | Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.
|
| Lamentations 5:3 | We are become orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
|
| Lamentations 5:4 | We have drunk our water for money; our wood cometh to us for price.
|
| Lamentations 5:5 | To our very necks we are pursued; we labour, and have no rest.
|
| Lamentations 5:6 | We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to have bread enough;
|
| Lamentations 5:7 | Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
|
| Lamentations 5:8 | Servants rule over us; there is none to deliver us out of their hand.
|
| Lamentations 5:9 | We get our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
|
| Lamentations 5:10 | Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.
|
| Lamentations 5:11 | They have ravished the women in Zion, the maidens in the cities of Judah.
|
| Lamentations 5:12 | Princes are hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders are not honoured.
|
| Lamentations 5:13 | The young men have borne the mill, and the children have stumbled under the wood.
|
| Lamentations 5:14 | The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
|
| Lamentations 5:15 | The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
|
| Lamentations 5:16 | The crown is fallen from our head; woe unto us! for we have sinned.
|
| Lamentations 5:17 | For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dim;
|
| Lamentations 5:18 | For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
|
| Lamentations 5:19 | Thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever, Thy throne is from generation to generation.
|
| Lamentations 5:20 | Wherefore dost Thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
|
| Lamentations 5:21 | Turn Thou us unto Thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
|
| Lamentations 5:22 | Thou canst not have utterly rejected us, and be exceeding wroth against us!
