Chapter 5

1


 

  Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold 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


 

  We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest.  

 

 

--

6


 

  We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand.  

 

 

--

9


 

  We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.  

 

 

--

11


 

  They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.  

 

 

--

13


 

  They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.  

 

 

--

14


 

  The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!  

 

 

--

17


 

  For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?  

 

 

--

21


 

  Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.  

 

 

--

22


 

  But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.  

 

 

--
