YLT - Lamentations - 5

5:1  Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.

5:2  Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.

5:3  Orphans we have been--without a father, our mothers are as widows.

5:4  Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.

5:5  For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured--there hath been no rest for us.

5:6  To Egypt we have given a hand, To Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.

5:7  Our fathers have sinned--they are not, We their iniquities have borne.

5:8  Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.

5:9  With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

5:10  Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.

5:11  Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins--in cities of Judah.

5:12  Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.

5:13  Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.

5:14  The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.

5:15  Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.

5:16  Fallen hath the crown from our head, Woe is now to us, for we have sinned.

5:17  For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.

5:18  For the mount of Zion--that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.

5:19  Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.

5:20  Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!

5:21  Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.

5:22  For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us--exceedingly?
