Lamentations 5:1-6 ▼

1 Remember, Yahweh, what has come on us. Look, and see our reproach.

2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.

3 We are orphans and fatherless. Our mothers are as widows.

4 We must pay for water to drink. Our wood is sold to us.

5 Our pursuers are on our necks. We are weary, and have no rest.

6 We have given our hands to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
