Lamentations 5 Verses
1
|
Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us. Look at us, and see our disgrace. |
2
|
Our property is in the hands of strangers; foreigners are living in our homes. |
3
|
Our fathers have been killed by the enemy, and now our mothers are widows. |
4
|
We must pay for the water we drink; we must buy the wood we need for fuel. |
5
|
Driven hard like donkeys or camels, we are tired, but are allowed no rest. |
6
|
To get food enough to stay alive, we went begging to Egypt and Assyria. |
7
|
Our ancestors sinned, but now they are gone, and we are suffering for their sins. |
8
|
Our rulers are no better than slaves, and no one can save us from their power. |
9
|
Murderers roam through the countryside; we risk our lives when we look for food. |
10
|
Hunger has made us burn with fever until our skin is as hot as an oven. |
11
|
Our wives have been raped on Mount Zion itself; in every Judean village our daughters have been forced to submit. |
12
|
Our leaders have been taken and hanged; our elders are shown no respect. |
13
|
Our young men are forced to grind grain like slaves; boys go staggering under heavy loads of wood. |
14
|
The old people no longer sit at the city gate, and the young people no longer make music. |
15
|
Happiness has gone out of our lives; grief has taken the place of our dances. |
16
|
Nothing is left of all we were proud of. We sinned, and now we are doomed. |
17
|
We are sick at our very hearts and can hardly see through our tears, |
18
|
because Mount Zion lies lonely and deserted, and wild jackals prowl through its ruins. |
19
|
But you, O LORD, are king forever and will rule to the end of time. |
20
|
Why have you abandoned us so long? Will you ever remember us again? |
21
|
Bring us back to you, LORD! Bring us back! Restore our ancient glory. |
22
|
Or have you rejected us forever? Is there no limit to your anger? |
