Lamentations 5:1-22

Remember
<02142> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
what is come upon us: consider
<05027> (8685)_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
our reproach
<02781>_.
Our inheritance
<05159>
is turned
<02015> (8738)
to strangers
<02114> (8801)_,
our houses
<01004>
to aliens
<05237>_.
We are orphans
<03490>
and fatherless
<0369> <01>_,
our mothers
<0517>
[are] as widows
<0490>_.
We have drunken
<08354> (8804)
our water
<04325>
for money
<03701>_;
our wood
<06086>
is sold
<0935> (8799) <04242>
unto us. {is...: Heb. cometh for price}
Our necks
<06677>
[are] under persecution
<07291> (8738)_:
we labour
<03021> (8804)_,
[and] have no rest
<05117> (8717)_.
{Our...: Heb. On our necks are we persecuted}
We have given
<05414> (8804)
the hand
<03027>
[to] the Egyptians
<04714>_,
[and to] the Assyrians
<0804>_,
to be satisfied
<07646> (8800)
with bread
<03899>_.
Our fathers
<01>
have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
[and are] not
<0369>_;
and we have borne
<05445> (8804)
their iniquities
<05771>_.
Servants
<05650>
have ruled
<04910> (8804)
over us: [there is] none that doth deliver
<06561> (8802)
[us] out of their hand
<03027>_.
We gat
<0935> (8686)
our bread
<03899>
with [the peril of] our lives
<05315>
because
<06440>
of the sword
<02719>
of the wilderness
<04057>_.
Our skin
<05785>
was black
<03648> (8738)
like an oven
<08574>
because
<06440>
of the terrible
<02152>
famine
<07458>_.
{terrible: or, terrors, or, storms}
They ravished
<06031> (8765)
the women
<0802>
in Zion
<06726>_,
[and] the maids
<01330>
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Princes
<08269>
are hanged up
<08518> (8738)
by their hand
<03027>_:
the faces
<06440>
of elders
<02205>
were not honoured
<01921> (8738)_.
They took
<05375> (8804)
the young men
<0970>
to grind
<02911>_,
and the children
<05288>
fell
<03782> (8804)
under the wood
<06086>_.
The elders
<02205>
have ceased
<07673> (8804)
from the gate
<08179>_,
the young men
<0970>
from their musick
<05058>_.
The joy
<04885>
of our heart
<03820>
is ceased
<07673> (8804)_;
our dance
<04234>
is turned
<02015> (8738)
into mourning
<060>_.
The crown
<05850>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)
[from] our head
<07218>_:
woe
<0188>
unto us, that we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_!
{The...: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}
For this our heart
<03820>
is faint
<01739>_;
for these [things] our eyes
<05869>
are dim
<02821> (8804)_.
Because of the mountain
<02022>
of Zion
<06726>_,
which is desolate
<08074> (8804)_,
the foxes
<07776>
walk
<01980> (8765)
upon it.
Thou, O LORD
<03068>_,
remainest
<03427> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_;
thy throne
<03678>
from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
Wherefore dost thou forget
<07911> (8799)
us for ever
<05331>_,
[and] forsake
<05800> (8799)
us so long
<0753>
time
<03117>_?
{so...: Heb. for length of days?}
Turn
<07725> (8685)
thou us unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,
and we shall be turned
<07725> (8799)_;
renew
<02318> (8761)
our days
<03117>
as of old
<06924>_.
But thou hast utterly
<03988> (8800)
rejected
<03988> (8804)
us; thou art very
<03966>
wroth
<07107> (8804)
against us. {But...: or, For wilt thou utterly reject us?}
