{Lamentations 5:1} Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:2} Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:3} We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:4} We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:5} Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:6} We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:7} Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:8} Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:9} We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:10} Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:11} They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:12} Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:14} The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:15} The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:16} The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:17} For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:18} Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:19} Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:20} Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:21} Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Lamentations 5:22} But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
