Lamentations 5 Verses
1
|
LORD, remember what has happened to us. See how we have been disgraced! |
2
|
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners. |
3
|
We are orphaned and fatherless. Our mothers are widowed. |
4
|
We have to pay for water to drink, and even firewood is expensive. |
5
|
Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are exhausted but are given no rest. |
6
|
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough food to survive. |
7
|
Our ancestors sinned, but they have died-- and we are suffering the punishment they deserved! |
8
|
Slaves have now become our masters; there is no one left to rescue us. |
9
|
We hunt for food at the risk of our lives, for violence rules the countryside. |
10
|
The famine has blackened our skin as though baked in an oven. |
11
|
Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem and the young girls in all the towns of Judah. |
12
|
Our princes are being hanged by their thumbs, and our elders are treated with contempt. |
13
|
Young men are led away to work at millstones, and boys stagger under heavy loads of wood. |
14
|
The elders no longer sit in the city gates; the young men no longer dance and sing. |
15
|
Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning. |
16
|
The garlands have fallen from our heads. Weep for us because we have sinned. |
17
|
Our hearts are sick and weary, and our eyes grow dim with tears. |
18
|
For Jerusalem is empty and desolate, a place haunted by jackals. |
19
|
But LORD, you remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation. |
20
|
Why do you continue to forget us? Why have you abandoned us for so long? |
21
|
Restore us, O LORD, and bring us back to you again! Give us back the joys we once had! |
22
|
Or have you utterly rejected us? Are you angry with us still? |
