Lam 5:7  Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 

Lam 5:8  Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

Lam 5:17  For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. 

Lam 5:18  Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 

Lam 5:19  Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. 

Lam 5:20  Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 

Lam 5:21  Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
