Lamentations 5:1-6 ▼

1 Remember, O YHWH, what has befallen us, || Look attentively, and see our reproach.

2 Our inheritance has been turned to strangers, || Our houses to foreigners.

3 Orphans we have been—without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.

4 We have drunk our water for money, || Our wood comes for a price.

5 For our neck we have been pursued, || We have labored—there has been no rest for us.

6 [To] Egypt we have given a hand, || [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
