Lam5:1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Lam5:2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
Lam5:3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows.
Lam5:4 We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us.
Lam5:5 Our necks [are] under persecution: we labor, [and] have no rest.
Lam5:6 We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Lam5:7 Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Lam5:8 Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand.
Lam5:9 We procured our bread with [the peril of] our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
Lam5:10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
Lam5:11 They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah.
Lam5:12 Princes were hanged by their hand: the faces of elders were not honored.
Lam5:13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
Lam5:14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
Lam5:15 The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
Lam5:16 The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe to us, that we have sinned!
Lam5:17 For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim.
Lam5:18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
Lam5:19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
Lam5:20 Why dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?
Lam5:21 Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
Lam5:22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
