New Testament

Lamentations 5:1-5 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us. Consider and look kindly upon our disgrace.

2. Our inheritance has been turned over to foreigners; our houses to outsiders.

3. We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows.

4. We paid for our drinking water. We acquired our wood for a price.

5. We were dragged by our necks. Being weary, no rest was given to us.
