Lamentations 5:1-6 ▼

1 Call to remembraunce (O Lorde) what we haue suffred, consider and see our confusion.

2 Our inheritaunce is turned to the straungers, and our houses to the aliaunts.

3 We are become carefull and fatherlesse, and our mothers are as the wydowes.

4 We are fayne to drinke our owne water for money, and our owne wood must we buy for money.

5 Our neckes are vnder persecution, we are weery and haue no rest.

6 Aforetime we yeelded our selues to the Egyptians, and nowe to the Assyrians, onlye that we might haue bread inough.
