Lamentations 5:8-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
8
Slaves rule over us;
There is no one to rescue us from their hand.
9
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10
Our skin has become as hot as an oven,
Because of the ravages of hunger.
11
They violated the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
12
Leaders were hung by their hands;
Elders were not respected.
13
Young men worked at the grinding mill,
And youths staggered under
loads
of wood.
14
Elders are absent from the gate,
Young men from their music.
15
The joy of our hearts has ended;
Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
16
The crown has fallen from our head;
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17
Because of this our heart is faint,
Because of these things our eyes are dim;
King James Version
Chapter 5
8
Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9
We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10
Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11
They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12
Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13
They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14
The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
15
The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16
The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17
For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
8
Slaves rule over us;
no one rescues us from them.
9
We secure our food at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the wilderness.
10
Our skin is as hot as an oven
from the ravages of hunger.
11
Women have been raped in Zion,
virgins in the cities of Judah.
12
Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders are shown no respect.
13
Young men labor at millstones;
boys stumble under loads of wood.
14
The elders have left the city gate,
the young men, their music.
15
Joy has left our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.
16
The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned.
17
Because of this, our heart is sick;
because of these, our eyes grow dim:
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
8
Slaves have now become our masters;
there is no one left to rescue us.
9
We hunt for food at the risk of our lives,
for violence rules the countryside.
10
The famine has blackened our skin
as though baked in an oven.
11
Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem
and the young girls in all the towns of Judah.
12
Our princes are being hanged by their thumbs,
and our elders are treated with contempt.
13
Young men are led away to work at millstones,
and boys stagger under heavy loads of wood.
14
The elders no longer sit in the city gates;
the young men no longer dance and sing.
15
Joy has left our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.
16
The garlands have fallen from our heads.
Weep for us because we have sinned.
17
Our hearts are sick and weary,
and our eyes grow dim with tears.
English Standard Version

at the risk
of our lives,

gathering at

And the young men from their music.

The joy of our heart has ceased;
Our dance has turned into mourning.

from
our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17
Because of this our heart is faint;
Because of these
things
our eyes grow dim;
