Lamentations 5
1
Look, and see our reproach.
2
our houses to aliens.
3
Our mothers are as widows.
4
Our wood is sold to us.
5
We are weary, and have no rest.
6
and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7
We have borne their iniquities.
8
There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
9
because of the sword of the wilderness.
10
because of the burning heat of famine.
11
the virgins in the cities of Judah.
12
The faces of elders were not honored.
13
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
14
and the young men from their music.
15
Our dance is turned into mourning.
16
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17
For these things our eyes are dim.
18
The foxes walk on it.
19
Your throne is from generation to generation.
20
and forsake us for so long a time?
21
Renew our days as of old.
22
You are very angry against us.
