Chapter 5
(Passion Bible)
Lamentations 5
Ready to read
1
Yahweh[1], remember all that we’ve endured;
2
Our inheritance[2] has passed to strangers,
3
We have no fathers; we are orphans,
4
We have to pay for drinking water,
5
Our pursuers are breathing down our necks;
6
We made a pact with Egypt and Assyria
7
Our ancestors sinned, and they are no more;
8
Slaves rule over us;[4]
9
We risk our lives to earn our bread
10
Our skin is scorched
11
Our enemies violated Zion’s women
12
Our leaders have been taken and hanged;
13
Young men are forced into menial labor,[5]
14
The elders no longer give their advice;[6]
15
Joy has vanished from our hearts;
16
Our joyful celebrations are over.[7]
17
For this is why our hearts are sick
18
because Mount Zion lies desolate
19
Yet you, Yahweh, reign forever!
20
Have you forgotten us forever?
21
Draw us back to yourself, Yahweh; let us come back to you!
22
Have you utterly rejected us?
