Lamentations, Chapter 5

1 Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us;
Look, and see our reproach!
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
Our houses to aliens.
3 We have become orphans without a father,
Our mothers are like widows.
4 a Lit We drink our water for silverWe have to pay for our drinking water,
Our wood comes to us at a price.
5 b Lit We have been pursued uponOur pursuers are at our necks;
We are worn out, there is no rest for us.
6 We havec Lit given the hand tosubmitted to Egypt and Assyriad Lit to be satisfied withto get enough bread.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more;
It is we who have borne their iniquities.
8 Slaves rule over us;
There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
9 We get our breade Lit with our soulat the risk of our lives
f Or In the face ofBecause of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin has become as hot as an oven,
Because ofg Or the ravages of hungerthe burning heat of famine.
11 They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes were hung by their hands;
h Lit The faces of eldersElders were not respected.
13 Young meni Lit carryworked at the grinding mill,
And youths stumbled under loads of wood.
14 Eldersj Lit have ceasedare gone from the gate,
Young men from their music.
15 The joy of our hearts has ceased;
Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
16 The crown has fallen from our head;
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint,
Because of these things our eyes are dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate,
Foxes prowl in it.
19 You, O LORD,k Lit sitrule forever;
Your throne is from generation to generation.
20 Why do You forget us forever?
Why do You forsake usl Lit to length of daysso long?
21 Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us
And are exceedingly angry with us.
