Lam Lamentations, chapter Book of Lamentations, chapter 5
Remember, O YHWH, what has befallen us, || Look attentively, and see our reproach. Ezk 5:14Our inheritance has been turned to strangers, || Our houses to foreigners. Jer 6:12Orphans we have been—without a father, our mothers [are] as widows. We have drunk our water for money, || Our wood comes for a price. Ezk 4:16For our neck we have been pursued, || We have labored—there has been no rest for us. [To] Egypt we have given a hand, || [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread. Our fathers have sinned—they are not, || We have borne their iniquities. Exo 20:5; Jer 31:29; Ezk 8:2Servants have ruled over us, || There is no deliverer from their hand. Deu 28:48With our lives we bring in our bread, || Because of the sword of the wilderness. Our skin as an oven has been burning, || Because of the raging of the famine. Ezk 22:22Wives in Zion they have humbled, || Virgins—in cities of Judah. Deu 28:30Princes have been hanged by their hand, || Elderly faces have not been honored. Lam 4:16They have taken young men to grind, || And youths have stumbled with wood. Elderly have ceased from the gate, || Young men from their song. The joy of our heart has ceased, || Our dancing has been turned to mourning. Hos 2:11The crown has fallen [from] our head, || Woe [is] now to us, for we have sinned. Jer 13:18Our heart has been sick for this, || Our eyes have been dim for these. Jer 13:16For the Mount of Zion—that is desolate, || Foxes have gone up on it. You, O YHWH, remain for all time, || Your throne to generation and generation. Psa 9:7Why do You forget us forever? You forsake us for [the] length of [our] days! Psa 13:1Turn us back, O YHWH, to You, || And we turn back, renew our days as of old. Jer 31:18For have You utterly rejected us? You have been angry against us—exceedingly?
