Lamentations 5:1-5 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.
