The Darby Bible
Lamentations, Chapter 5

   1: Remember, O Jehovah, what is come upon us; consider, and see our reproach.
   2: Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
   3: We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
   4: Our water have we to drink for money, our wood cometh unto us for a price.
   5: Our pursuers are on our necks: we are weary, we have no rest.
   6: We have given the hand to Egypt, [and] to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
   7: Our fathers have sinned, [and] they are not; and we bear their iniquities.
   8: Bondmen rule over us: there is no deliverer out of their hand.
   9: We have to get our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.
   10: Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the burning heat of the famine.
   11: They have ravished the women in Zion, the maids in the cities of Judah.
   12: Princes were hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders were not honoured.
   13: The young men have borne the mill, and the youths have stumbled under the wood.
   14: The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
   15: The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
   16: The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, for we have sinned!
   17: For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes have grown dim,
   18: Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: foxes walk over it.
   19: Thou, Jehovah, dwellest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.
   20: Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, dost thou forsake us so long time?
   21: Turn thou us unto thee, Jehovah, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
   22: Or is it that thou hast utterly rejected us? Wouldest thou be exceeding wroth against us?
