Lamentations: Chapter 5 (web)

Lamentations 5
- 1 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us: Look, and see our reproach.
- 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
- 3 We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.
- 4 We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us.
- 5 Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
- 6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, To the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
- 7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; We have borne their iniquities.
- 8 Servants rule over us: There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
- 9 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.
