Lamentations 5:8-16

8ServantsH5650 have ruledH4910 over us: there is none that doth deliverH6561 us out of their handH3027. 9We gotH935 our breadH3899 with the peril of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the wildernessH4057. 10Our skinH5785 was blackH3648 like an ovenH8574 becauseH6440 of the terribleH2152 famineH7458.1 11They ravishedH6031 the womenH802 in ZionH6726, and the maidsH1330 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. 12PrincesH8269 are hangedH8518 by their handH3027: the facesH6440 of eldersH2205 were not honouredH1921. 13They tookH5375 the young menH970 to grindH2911, and the childrenH5288 fellH3782 under the woodH6086. 14The eldersH2205 have ceasedH7673 from the gateH8179, the young menH970 from their musicH5058. 15The joyH4885 of our heartH3820 hath ceasedH7673; our danceH4234 is turnedH2015 into mourningH60. 16The crownH5850 is fallenH5307 from our headH7218: woeH188 to us, that we have sinnedH2398!2
