== Eichah (Book of Lamentations), Chapter 5 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Remember, O HaShem, what is come upon us; behold, and see our reproach.

<named id="2"/>2 Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.

<named id="3"/>3 We are become orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

<named id="4"/>4 We have drunk our water for money; our wood cometh to us for price.

<named id="5"/>5 To our very necks we are pursued; we labour, and have no rest.

<named id="6"/>6 We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to have bread enough;

<named id="7"/>7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

<named id="8"/>8 Servants rule over us; there is none to deliver us out of their hand.

<named id="9"/>9 We get our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.

<named id="10"/>10 Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.

<named id="11"/>11 They have ravished the women in Zion, the maidens in the cities of Judah.

<named id="12"/>12 Princes are hanged up by their hand; the faces of elders are not honoured.

<named id="13"/>13 The young men have borne the mill, and the children have stumbled under the wood.

<named id="14"/>14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.

<named id="15"/>15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

<named id="16"/>16 The crown is fallen from our head; woe unto us! for we have sinned.

<named id="17"/>17 For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dim;

<named id="18"/>18 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

<named id="19"/>19 Thou, O HaShem, art enthroned for ever, Thy throne is from generation to generation.

<named id="20"/>20 Wherefore dost Thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

<named id="21"/>21 Turn Thou us unto Thee, O HaShem, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

<named id="22"/>22 Thou canst not have utterly rejected us, and be exceeding wroth against us!
