LA-4: 19 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness. LA-4: 20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen. LA-4: 21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. LA-4: 22 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. LA-5: 1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. LA-5: 2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. LA-5: 3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows. LA-5: 4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. LA-5: 5 Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest. LA-5: 6 We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. LA-5: 7 Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities. LA-5: 8 Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand. LA-5: 9 We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. LA-5: 10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. LA-5: 11 They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah. LA-5: 12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. LA-5: 13 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. LA-5: 14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music. LA-5: 15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. LA-5: 16 The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! LA-5: 17 For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim. LA-5: 18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. LA-5: 19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. LA-5: 20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?
