REMEMBER, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021272">2</a>. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021273">3</a>. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021274">4</a>. We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021275">5</a>. Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021276">6</a>. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021277">7</a>. Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021278">8</a>. Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021279">9</a>. We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021280">10</a>. Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021281">11</a>. They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021282">12</a>. Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021283">13</a>. They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021284">14</a>. The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021285">15</a>. The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1021291">21</a>. Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.</li>
