Lamentations 5:1-6 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Remember, O Jehovah, what is come upon us: Behold, and see our reproach.

2. Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, Our houses unto aliens.

3. We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.

4. We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold unto us.

5. Our pursuers are upon our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.

6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
