Lamentations, Chapter 5

001:	Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
002:	Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
003:	We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
004:	We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
005:	Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
006:	We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
007:	Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
008:	Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
009:	We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
010:	Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
011:	They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
012:	Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
013:	They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
014:	The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
015:	The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
016:	The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
017:	For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
018:	Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
019:	Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
020:	Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
021:	Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
022:	But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
