1<\/sup>Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us. Consider and look kindly upon our disgrace.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Our inheritance has been turned over to foreigners; our houses to outsiders.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>We paid for our drinking water. We acquired our wood for a price.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>We were dragged by our necks. Being weary, no rest was given to us.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>We have given our hand to Egypt and to the Assyrians, so that we may be satisfied with bread.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Our fathers have sinned, and are not. And we have carried their iniquities.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Servants have become rulers over us. There was no one to redeem us from their hand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>We obtained our bread at the risk of our lives, before the face of the sword, in the wilderness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Our skin was burned, as if by an oven, before the face of the tempest of the famine.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>They humiliated the women in Zion and the virgins in the cities of Judah.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>The leaders were suspended by their hand. They were not ashamed before the faces of the elders.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>They have sexually abused the adolescents, and the children were corrupted in the wood.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened:<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>because of mount Zion, because it was ruined. Foxes have wandered upon it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>But you, O Lord, shall remain for eternity, your throne from generation to generation.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Why would you forget us forever? Why would you forsake us for a long time?<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Convert us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be converted. Renew our days, as from the beginning.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>But you have utterly rejected us; you are vehemently angry against us.<\/span> <\/p>\n
