Lamentations 5

CHAPTER 5

1Lord, have thou mind what befell to us; see thou, and behold our shame.

2Our heritage is turned to aliens, our houses be turned to strangers.

3We be made fatherless children without a father; our mothers be as widows.

4We drank our water for money, we bought our wood for silver.

5We were driven by our heads, and rest was not given to faint men.

6We gave hand to Egypt, and to Assyrians, that we should be [ful] filled with bread.

7Our fathers sinned, and be not, and we bare the wickednesses of them

8Servants were lords of us, and none was, that again-bought from the hand of them.

9In our lives we brought bread to us, from the face of [the] sword in desert.

10Our skin is burnt as a furnace, of the face of tempests of hunger.

11They made low women in Zion, and virgins in the cities of Judah.

12Princes were hanged [up] by the hand; they were not ashamed of the faces of eld [or old] men.

13They misused young waxing men unchastely, and children fell down in tree.

14Eld [or Old] men failed from [the] gates; young men failed from the quire or choir of singers.

15The joy of our heart failed; our song is turned into mourning.

16The crown of our head fell down; woe to us! for we sinned.

17Therefore our heart is made sorrowful, therefore our eyes be made dark.

18For the hill of Zion, for it perished; foxes went in it.

19But thou, Lord, shalt dwell without end; thy seat shall dwell in generation and into generation.

20Why shalt thou forget us without end, shalt thou forsake us into [the] length of days?

21Lord, convert thou us to thee, and we shall be converted; make thou new our days, as at the beginning.

22But thou casting away hast cast away us; thou art wroth against us greatly.
