Revised Version 1895
Lamentations 5:2-18
2Our inheritanceH5159 is turnedH2015 unto strangersH2114, our housesH1004 unto aliensH5237.
3We are orphansH3490 and fatherlessH3490, our mothersH517 are as widowsH490.
4We have drunken our waterH4325 for moneyH3701; our woodH6086 is sold unto usH935.
5Our pursuersH7291 are uponH5921 our necksH6677: we are wearyH3021, and have noH3808 restH5117.
6We have givenH5414 the handH3027 to the EgyptiansH4713, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.
7Our fathersH1 have sinnedH2398, and are notH369; and weH587 have borneH5445 their iniquitiesH5771.
8ServantsH5650 ruleH4910 over usH3027: there is noneH369 to deliverH6561 usH3027 outH3027 of their handH3027.
9WeH5315 getH935 our breadH3899 with the peril of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the wildernessH4057.
10Our skinH5785 is black like an ovenH8574 becauseH6440 of the burningH2152 heatH2152 of famineH7458.
11They ravished the womenH802 in ZionH6726, the maidensH1330 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
12PrincesH8269 were hangedH8518 up by their handH3027: the facesH6440 of eldersH2205 were notH3808 honoured.
13The youngH5288 menH5288 bare the mill, and the childrenH5288 stumbledH3782 underH3782 the woodH6086.
14The eldersH2205 have ceased from the gateH8179, the youngH970 menH970 from their musicH5058.
15The joyH4885 of our heartH3820 is ceased; our danceH4234 is turnedH2015 intoH2015 mourningH60.
16The crownH5850 is fallenH5307 from our headH7218: woeH188 unto usH4994! for weH3588 have sinnedH2398.
17For this our heartH3820 is faintH1739; for theseH428 things our eyesH5869 are dimH2821;
18For the mountainH2022 of ZionH6726, whichH2022 is desolateH8074; the foxesH7776 walkH1980 uponH5921 it.
