| 5:1
| Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our
reproach.
|
| 5:2
| Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
|
| 5:3
| We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
|
| 5:4
| We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
|
| 5:5
| Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
|
| 5:6
| We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be
satisfied with bread.
|
| 5:7
| Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their
iniquities.
|
| 5:8
| Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of
their hand.
|
| 5:9
| We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the
wilderness.
|
| 5:10
| Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
|
| 5:11
| They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
|
| 5:12
| Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not
honoured.
|
| 5:13
| They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
|
| 5:14
| The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
|
| 5:15
| The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
|
| 5:16
| The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
|
| 5:17
| For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
|
| 5:18
| Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon
it.
|
| 5:19
| Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to
generation.
|
| 5:20
| Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
|
| 5:21
| Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days
as of old.
|
| 5:22
| But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
