Lam 5:2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

Lam 5:3 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as widows.

Lam 5:4 We have drank our water for money; our wood is sold to us.

Lam 5:5 Our necks [are] under persecution: we labor, [and] have no rest.

Lam 5:6 We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

Lam 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Lam 5:8 Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth deliver [us] out of their hand.

Lam 5:9 We procured our bread with [the peril of] our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

Lam 5:17 For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our eyes are dim.

Lam 5:18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

Lam 5:19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

Lam 5:20 Why dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake us so long time?

Lam 5:21 Turn thou us to thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

Lam 5:22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
