Lamentations 5:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 LORD, consider what has become of us; take notice of our disgrace. Look at it!

2 Our property has been turned over to strangers; our houses belong to foreigners.

3 We have become orphans, having no father; our mothers are like widows.

4 We drink our own water—but for a price; we gather our own wood—but pay for it.

5 Our hunters have been at our necks; we are worn out, but have no rest.

6 We held out a hand to Egypt and to Assyria, to get sufficient food.

New International Version NIV

1 Remember, LORD, what has happened to us; look, and see our disgrace.

2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our homes to foreigners.

3 We have become fatherless, our mothers are widows.

4 We must buy the water we drink; our wood can be had only at a price.

5 Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are weary and find no rest.

6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
