Chapter 5
1Remember, Lord, what has come upon us; Look, and see our disgrace! 2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners. 3We have become orphans, without a father; Our mothers are like widows. 4 We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price. 5 Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, we are given no rest.King James Version
