Lamentations 5:1-10
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.
