nkjv@Lamentations:5:1 @ Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach!

nkjv@Lamentations:5:2 @ Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:3 @ We have become orphans and waifs, Our mothers are like widows.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:4 @ We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:5 @ They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:6 @ We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:7 @ Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:8 @ Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:9 @ We get our bread at the risk of our lives, Because of the sword in the wilderness.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:10 @ Our skin is hot as an oven, Because of the fever of famine.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:11 @ They ravished the women in Zion, The maidens in the cities of Judah.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:12 @ Princes were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:13 @ Young men ground at the millstones; Boys staggered under loads of wood.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:14 @ The elders have ceased gathering at the gate, And the young men from their music.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:15 @ The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has turned into mourning.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:16 @ The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

nkjv@Lamentations:5:17 @ Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes grow dim;

nkjv@Lamentations:5:18 @ Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:19 @ You, O LORD, remain forever; Your throne from generation to generation.

nkjv@Lamentations:5:20 @ Why do You forget us forever, And forsake us for so long a time?

nkjv@Lamentations:5:21 @ Turn us back to You, O LORD, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old,

nkjv@Lamentations:5:22 @ Unless You have utterly rejected us, And are very angry with us!
