Lamentations 5:1-8

1. 1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

2. 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

3. 3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

4. 4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

5. 5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

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

7. 7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

8. 8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
