Lam 4:19 Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They chased us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
Lam 4:20 The breath of our nostrils, the LORD'S anointed, Was captured in their pits, Of whom we had said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations."
Lam 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, Who dwells in the land of Uz; But the cup will come around to you as well, You will become drunk and make yourself naked.
Lam 4:22The punishment of your iniquity has been completed, O daughter of Zion; He will exile you no longer. But He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins!
Lam 5:1 Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!
Lam 5:2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
Lam 5:3 We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.
Lam 5:4 We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.
Lam 5:6 We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
Lam 5:7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.
Lam 5:8 Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
Lam 5:9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.
Lam 5:10 Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
Lam 5:15 The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
Lam 5:17 Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;
Lam 5:18 Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.
Lam 5:19 ¶ You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
Lam 5:20 Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?
Lam 5:21 Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,
Lam 5:22 Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.
