Klagelieder 5:1-6

Listen to Klagelieder 5:1-6
1 Gedenke, HERR, wie es uns geht; schaue und siehe an unsre Schmach!
2 Unser Erbe ist den Fremden zuteil geworden und unsre Häuser den Ausländern.
3 Wir sind Waisen und haben keinen Vater; unsre Mütter sind Witwen.
4 Unser Wasser müssen wir um Geld trinken; unser Holz muß man bezahlt bringen lassen.
5 Man treibt uns über Hals; und wenn wir schon müde sind, läßt man uns doch keine Ruhe.
6 Wir haben uns müssen Ägypten und Assur ergeben, auf daß wir Brot satt zu essen haben. {~}

Klagelieder 5:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LAMENTATIONS 5

In this chapter are reckoned up the various calamities and distresses of the Jews in Babylon, which the Lord is desired to remember and consider, La 5:1-16; their great concern for the desolation of the temple in particular is expressed, La 5:17,18; and the chapter is concluded with a prayer that God would show favour to them, and turn them to him, and renew their prosperity as of old, though he had rejected them, and been wroth with them, La 5:19-22.
