ASV_Strong : Lamentations 5
1. Remember[H2142], O Jehovah[H3068], what is come upon us[H7200]: Behold, and see[H7200] our reproach[H2781].
2. Our inheritance[H5159] is turned[H2015] unto strangers[H2114], Our houses[H1004] unto aliens[H5237].
3. We are orphans[H3490] and fatherless[H369]; Our mothers[H517] are as widows[H490].
4. We have drunken[H8354] our water[H4325] for money[H3701]; Our wood[H6086] is sold unto us[H935].
5. Our pursuers[H7291] are upon our necks[H6677]: We are weary[H3021], and have no rest[H5117].
6. We have given[H5414] the hand[H3027] to the Egyptians[H4714], And to the Assyrians[H804], to be satisfied[H7646] with bread[H3899].
7. Our fathers[H1] sinned[H2398], and are not[H369]; And we have borne[H5445] their iniquities[H5771].
8. Servants[H5650] rule[H4910] over us[H6561]: There is none to deliver us out of their hand[H3027].
9. We get[H935] our bread[H3899] at the peril of our lives[H5315], Because[H6440] of the sword[H2719] of the wilderness[H4057].
10. Our skin[H5785] is black[H3648] like an oven[H8574], Because[H6440] of the burning[H2152] heat of famine[H7458].
11. They ravished[H6031] the women[H802] in Zion[H6726], The virgins[H1330] in the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063].
12. Princes[H8269] were hanged up[H8518] by their hand[H3027]: The faces[H6440] of elders[H2205] were not honored[H1921].
13. The young men[H970] bare[H5375] the mill[H2911]; And the children[H5288] stumbled[H3782] under the wood[H6086].
14. The elders[H2205] have ceased[H7673] from the gate[H8179], The young men[H970] from their music[H5058].
15. The joy[H4885] of our heart[H3820] is ceased[H7673]; Our dance[H4234] is turned[H2015] into mourning[H60].
16. The crown[H5850] is fallen[H5307] from our head[H7218]: Woe[H188] unto us[H2398]! for we have sinned.
17. For this our heart[H3820] is faint[H1739]; For these things our eyes[H5869] are dim[H2821];
18. For the mountain[H2022] of Zion[H6726], which is desolate[H8074]: The foxes[H7776] walk upon it[H1980].
19. Thou[H3068], O Jehovah, abidest[H3427] for ever[H5769]; Thy throne[H3678] is from generation[H1755] to generation[H1755].
20. Wherefore dost thou forget[H7911] us for ever[H5331], And forsake[H5800] us so long[H753] time[H3117]?
21. Turn[H7725] thou us unto thee[H3068], O Jehovah, and we shall be turned[H7725]; Renew[H2318] our days[H3117] as of old[H6924].
22. But thou hast utterly[H3988] rejected[H3988] us[H3966]; Thou art very wroth against us[H7107].
