Lamentations 5 Verses
1
|
Remember, Lord, what happened to us. Look and see our shame. |
2
|
Our land has been turned over to strangers. Our houses have been given to foreigners. |
3
|
We have become orphans. We have no father. Our mothers have become like widows. |
4
|
We have to buy the water that we drink. We have to pay for the wood that we use. |
5
|
We are forced to wear a yoke on our necks. We get tired, and we have no rest. |
6
|
We made an agreement with Egypt. We also made an agreement with Assyria to get enough bread. |
7
|
Our ancestors sinned against you, and now they are dead. And we are suffering because of their sins. |
8
|
Slaves have become our rulers. No one can save us from them. |
9
|
We risk our lives to get food. There are men in the desert with swords. |
10
|
Our skin is hot like an oven. We have a high fever because of our hunger. |
11
|
The enemy raped the women of Zion. They raped the women in the cities of Judah. |
12
|
The enemy hanged our princes. They didn't honor our elders. |
13
|
The enemy made our young men grind grain at the mill. Our young men stumbled under loads of wood. |
14
|
The elders no longer sit at the gates of the city. The young men no longer make music. |
15
|
We have no more joy in our hearts. Our dancing has changed to crying for the dead. |
16
|
The crown has fallen from our head. Things have gone bad for us because we sinned. |
17
|
For this reason our hearts have become sick, and our eyes cannot see clearly. |
18
|
Mount Zion is a wasteland. Foxes run around on Mount Zion. |
19
|
But you rule forever, Lord. Your kingly chair lasts forever and ever. |
20
|
You seem to have forgotten us forever. You seem to have left us alone for such a long time. |
21
|
Bring us back to you, Lord. We will gladly come back to you. Make our lives as they were before. |
22
|
You were very angry with us. Have you completely rejected us? |
