Lamentations
Chapters 5:16-22
Revised Version 1885
16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us! for we have sinned.
17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim;
18For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate; the foxes walk upon it.
19Thou, O Lord, abidest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.
20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us, thou art very wroth against us.
