Bible. Lamentations
25:004:022 The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter
of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he
will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will
discover thy sins.
25:005:001 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold
our reproach.
25:005:002 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
25:005:003 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
25:005:004 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
25:005:005 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
25:005:006 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians,
to be satisfied with bread.
25:005:007 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their
iniquities.
25:005:008 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver
us out of their hand.
25:005:009 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the
sword of the wilderness.
25:005:010 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible
famine.
25:005:011 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities
of Judah.
25:005:012 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were
not honoured.
25:005:013 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under
the wood.
25:005:014 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their
musick.
25:005:015 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into
mourning.
25:005:016 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have
sinned!
25:005:017 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are
dim.
25:005:018 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes
walk upon it.
25:005:019 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation
to generation.
25:005:020 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long
time?
25:005:021 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew
our days as of old.
25:005:022 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against
us.
