Lamentations 5:2-22

Our inheritance
<05159>

is turned
<02015> (8738)

to strangers
<02114> (8801)_,

our houses
<01004>

to aliens
<05237>_.

We are orphans
<03490>

and fatherless
<0369> <01>_,

our mothers
<0517>

[are] as widows
<0490>_.

We have drunken
<08354> (8804)

our water
<04325>

for money
<03701>_;

our wood
<06086>

is sold
<0935> (8799) <04242>

unto us. {is...: Heb. cometh for price}

Our necks
<06677>

[are] under persecution
<07291> (8738)_:

we labour
<03021> (8804)_,

[and] have no rest
<05117> (8717)_.

{Our...: Heb. On our necks are we persecuted}

We have given
<05414> (8804)

the hand
<03027>

[to] the Egyptians
<04714>_,

[and to] the Assyrians
<0804>_,

to be satisfied
<07646> (8800)

with bread
<03899>_.

Our fathers
<01>

have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

[and are] not
<0369>_;

and we have borne
<05445> (8804)

their iniquities
<05771>_.

Servants
<05650>

have ruled
<04910> (8804)

over us: [there is] none that doth deliver
<06561> (8802)

[us] out of their hand
<03027>_.

We gat
<0935> (8686)

our bread
<03899>

with [the peril of] our lives
<05315>

because
<06440>

of the sword
<02719>

of the wilderness
<04057>_.

Our skin
<05785>

was black
<03648> (8738)

like an oven
<08574>

because
<06440>

of the terrible
<02152>

famine
<07458>_.

{terrible: or, terrors, or, storms}

They ravished
<06031> (8765)

the women
<0802>

in Zion
<06726>_,

[and] the maids
<01330>

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Princes
<08269>

are hanged up
<08518> (8738)

by their hand
<03027>_:

the faces
<06440>

of elders
<02205>

were not honoured
<01921> (8738)_.

They took
<05375> (8804)

the young men
<0970>

to grind
<02911>_,

and the children
<05288>

fell
<03782> (8804)

under the wood
<06086>_.

The elders
<02205>

have ceased
<07673> (8804)

from the gate
<08179>_,

the young men
<0970>

from their musick
<05058>_.

The joy
<04885>

of our heart
<03820>

is ceased
<07673> (8804)_;

our dance
<04234>

is turned
<02015> (8738)

into mourning
<060>_.

The crown
<05850>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

[from] our head
<07218>_:

woe
<0188>

unto us, that we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_!

{The...: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}

For this our heart
<03820>

is faint
<01739>_;

for these [things] our eyes
<05869>

are dim
<02821> (8804)_.

Because of the mountain
<02022>

of Zion
<06726>_,

which is desolate
<08074> (8804)_,

the foxes
<07776>

walk
<01980> (8765)

upon it.

Thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

remainest
<03427> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_;

thy throne
<03678>

from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>_.

Wherefore dost thou forget
<07911> (8799)

us for ever
<05331>_,

[and] forsake
<05800> (8799)

us so long
<0753>

time
<03117>_?

{so...: Heb. for length of days?}

Turn
<07725> (8685)

thou us unto thee, O LORD
<03068>_,

and we shall be turned
<07725> (8799)_;

renew
<02318> (8761)

our days
<03117>

as of old
<06924>_.

But thou hast utterly
<03988> (8800)

rejected
<03988> (8804)

us; thou art very
<03966>

wroth
<07107> (8804)

against us. {But...: or, For wilt thou utterly reject us?}
