Context of Lamentations 5:19

17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes have grown dim, 18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: foxes walk over it. Thou, Jehovah, dwellest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation. 20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, dost thou forsake us so long time? 21Turn thou us unto thee, Jehovah, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
