[1]RememberH2142[H8798], O LORDH3068, what is come upon us: considerH5027[H8685], and beholdH7200[H8798] our reproachH2781.
[2]Our inheritanceH5159 is turnedH2015[H8738] to strangersH2114[H8801], our housesH1004 to aliensH5237.
[3]We are orphansH3490 and fatherlessH369[H1], our mothersH517 are as widowsH490.
[4]We have drunkenH8354[H8804] our waterH4325 for moneyH3701; our woodH6086 is soldH935[H8799] unto usH4242.
[5]Our necksH6677 are under persecutionH7291[H8738]: we labourH3021[H8804], and have no restH5117.[H8717]
[6]We have givenH5414[H8804] the handH3027 to the EgyptiansH4714, and to the AssyriansH804, to be satisfiedH7646[H8800] with breadH3899.
[7]Our fathersH1 have sinnedH2398[H8804], and are notH369; and we have borneH5445[H8804] their iniquitiesH5771.
[8]ServantsH5650 have ruledH4910[H8804] over us: there is none that doth deliverH6561[H8802] us out of their handH3027.
[9]We gatH935[H8686] our breadH3899 with the peril of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 of the wildernessH4057.
[10]Our skinH5785 was blackH3648[H8738] like an ovenH8574 becauseH6440 of the terribleH2152 famineH7458.
[11]They ravishedH6031[H8765] the womenH802 in ZionH6726, and the maidsH1330 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
[12]PrincesH8269 are hanged upH8518[H8738] by their handH3027: the facesH6440 of eldersH2205 were not honouredH1921.[H8738]
[13]They tookH5375[H8804] the young menH970 to grindH2911, and the childrenH5288 fellH3782[H8804] under the woodH6086.
[14]The eldersH2205 have ceasedH7673[H8804] from the gateH8179, the young menH970 from their musickH5058.
[15]The joyH4885 of our heartH3820 is ceasedH7673[H8804]; our danceH4234 is turnedH2015[H8738] into mourningH60.
[16]The crownH5850 is fallenH5307[H8804] from our headH7218: woeH188 H2398unto us, that we have sinnedH8804
[17]For this our heartH3820 is faintH1739; for these things our eyesH5869 are dimH2821.[H8804]
[18]Because of the mountainH2022 of ZionH6726, which is desolateH8074[H8804], the foxesH7776 walkH1980 upon itH8765.
[19]Thou, O LORDH3068, remainestH3427[H8799] for everH5769; thy throneH3678 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
[20]Wherefore dost thou forgetH7911[H8799] us for everH5331, and forsakeH5800[H8799] us so longH753 timeH3117?
[21]TurnH7725[H8685] thou us unto thee, O LORDH3068, and we shall be turnedH7725[H8799]; renewH2318[H8761] our daysH3117 as of oldH6924.
[22]But thou hast utterlyH3988[H8800] rejectedH3988[H8804] us; thou art veryH3966 wrothH7107 against usH8804.
