Chapter 5
-
Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach!
-
Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.
-
We have become orphans and waifs, Our mothers are like widows.
-
We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price.
-
They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest.
-
We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
-
Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.
-
Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand.
-
We get our bread at the risk of our lives, Because of the sword in the wilderness.
-
Our skin is hot as an oven, Because of the fever of famine.
-
They ravished the women in Zion, The maidens in the cities of Judah.
-
Princes were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.
-
Young men ground at the millstones; Boys staggered under loads of wood.
-
The elders have ceased gathering at the gate, And the young men from their music.
-
The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has turned into mourning.
-
The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
-
Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
-
Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it.
-
You, O Lord, remain forever; Your throne from generation to generation.
-
Why do You forget us forever, And forsake us for so long a time?
-
Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old,
-
Unless You have utterly rejected us, And are very angry with us!
