Verses of Lamentations 5 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach!
2 - Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.
3 - We have become orphans and waifs, Our mothers are like widows.
4 - We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price.
5 - They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest.
6 - We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 - Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.
8 - Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver 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 is hot as an oven, Because of the fever of famine.
11 - They ravished the women in Zion, The maidens in the cities of Judah.
12 - Princes were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.
13 - Young men ground at the millstones; Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 - The elders have ceased gathering at the gate, And the young men from their music.
15 - The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has 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 grow dim;
18 - Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it.
19 - You, O LORD, remain forever; Your throne from generation to generation.
20 - Why do You forget us forever, And forsake us for so long a time?
21 - Turn us back to You, O LORD, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old,
22 - Unless You have utterly rejected us, And are very angry with us!
