Lamentations 5 (NKJV)

¹ Look, and behold our reproach! ² And our houses to foreigners. ³ Our mothers are like widows. ⁴ And our wood comes at a price. ⁵ We labor and have no rest. ⁶ And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. ⁷ But we bear their iniquities. ⁸ There is none to deliver us from their hand. ⁹ Because of the sword in the wilderness. ¹⁰ Because of the fever of famine. ¹¹ The maidens in the cities of Judah. ¹² And elders were not respected. ¹³ Boys staggered under loads of wood. ¹⁴ And the young men from their music. ¹⁵ Our dance has turned into mourning. ¹⁶ Woe to us, for we have sinned! ¹⁷ Because of these things our eyes grow dim; ¹⁸ With foxes walking about on it. ¹⁹ Your throne from generation to generation. ²⁰ And forsake us for so long a time? ²¹ Renew our days as of old, ²² And are very angry with us!
