Lamentations 5
1RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, whatH4100 has happenedH1961 to us. LookH5027 and seeH7200 our disgraceH2781!2Our inheritanceH5159 has been turned overH2015 to strangersH2114, our housesH1004 to foreignersH5237.3We have becomeH1961 fatherlessH369H1 orphansH3490; our mothersH517 are widowsH490.4We must buyH3701 the waterH4325 we drinkH8354; our woodH6086 comesH935 at a priceH4242.5We are closelyH5921H6677 pursuedH7291; we are wearyH3021 and find noH3808 restH5117.
6We submittedH5414H3027 to EgyptH4714 and AssyriaH804to get enoughH7646 breadH3899.7Our fathersH1 sinnedH2398 and are no moreH369,but weH587 bearH5445 their punishmentH5771.8SlavesH5650 ruleH4910 over us;there is no oneH369 to deliver usH6561 from their handsH3027.9We getH935 our breadH3899 at the risk of our livesH5315because ofH6440 the swordH2719 in the wildernessH4057.10Our skinH5785 is as hotH3648 as an ovenH8574withH6440 feverH2152 from our hungerH7458.
11WomenH802 have been ravishedH6031 in ZionH6726,virginsH1330 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.12PrincesH8269 have been hung upH8518 by their handsH3027;eldersH2205 receive noH3808 respectH6440H1921.13Young menH970 toilH5375 at millstonesH2911;boysH5288 staggerH3782 under loads of woodH6086.14The eldersH2205 have leftH7673 the city gateH8179;the young menH970 have stopped their musicH5058.15JoyH4885 has leftH7673 our heartsH3820;our dancingH4234 has turnedH2015 to mourningH60.16The crownH5850 has fallenH5307 from our headH7218.WoeH188H4994 to us, forH3588 we have sinnedH2398!
17Because ofH5921 thisH2088, our heartsH3820 areH1961 faintH1739;because ofH5921 theseH428, our eyesH5869 grow dimH2821—18because ofH5921 MountH2022 ZionH6726, which lies desolateH8074,patrolledH1980 by foxesH7776.
19YouH859, O LORDH3068, reignH3427 foreverH5769;Your throneH3678 endures from generationH1755 to generationH1755.20WhyH4100 have You forgotten usH7911 foreverH5331?Why have You forsaken usH5800 for so longH753H3117?21Restore usH7725 to YourselfH413, O LORDH3068, so we may returnH7725;renewH2318 our daysH3117 as of oldH6924,22unlessH3588H518 You have utterly rejected usH3988and remain angryH7107 with usH5921 beyond measureH5704H3966.
