Lamentations 5 Verses
1
|
Lord, think about what has happened to us. Look at the shame our enemies have brought on us. |
2
|
The land you gave us has been turned over to outsiders. Our homes have been given to strangers. |
3
|
Our fathers have been killed. Our mothers don't have husbands. |
4
|
We have to buy the water we drink. We have to pay for the wood we use. |
5
|
Those who chase us are right behind us. We're tired. We can't get any rest. |
6
|
We put ourselves under the control of Egypt and Assyria just to get enough bread. |
7
|
Our people before us sinned. And they are now dead. We are being punished because of their sins. |
8
|
Slaves rule over us. No one can set us free from their powerful hands. |
9
|
We put our lives in danger just to get some bread to eat. Robbers in the desert might kill us with their swords. |
10
|
Our skin is as hot as an oven. We are so hungry we're burning up with fever. |
11
|
Our women have been raped in Zion. Our virgins have been raped in the towns of Judah. |
12
|
Our princes have been hung up by their hands. No one shows our elders any respect. |
13
|
Our young men are forced to grind grain at the mill. Our boys almost fall down as they carry heavy loads of wood. |
14
|
Our elders don't go to the city gate anymore. Our young men have stopped playing their music. |
15
|
There isn't any joy in our hearts. Our dancing has turned into sobbing. |
16
|
All of our honor is gone. How terrible it is for us! We have sinned. |
17
|
So our hearts are weak. Our eyes can't see very clearly. |
18
|
Mount Zion has been deserted. Wild dogs are prowling all around on it. |
19
|
Lord, you rule forever. Your throne will last for all time to come. |
20
|
Why do you always forget us? Why have you deserted us for so long? |
21
|
Lord, please bring us back to you. Then we can return. Make our lives like new again. |
22
|
Or have you completely turned away from us? Are you really that angry with us? |
