Lam Lamentations, chapter Book of Lamentations, chapter 5
Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach. Ezk 5:14Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers. Jer 6:12We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows. We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood. Ezk 4:16We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us. We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread. Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities. Exo 20:5; Jer 31:29; Ezk 8:2Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand. Deu 28:48We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert. Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine. Ezk 22:22They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda. Deu 28:30The princes were hanged up by their hand: they did not respect the persons of the ancient. Lam 4:16They abused the young men indecently: and the children fell under the wood. The ancients have ceased from the gates: the young men from the choir of the singers. The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is turned into mourning. Hos 2:11The crown is fallen from our head woe to us, because we have sinned. Jer 13:18Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim, Jer 13:16For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it. But thou, O Lord, shalt remain for ever, thy throne from generation to generation. Psa 9:8Why wilt thou forget us for ever? why wilt thou forsake us for a long time? Psa 12:1Convert us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be converted: renew our days, as from the beginning. Jer 31:18But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art exceedingly angry against us.
