5:1 Remember 2142 8798, O LORD 3068, what is come upon us: consider 5027 8685, and behold 7200 8798 our reproach 2781.

5:2 Our inheritance 5159 is turned 2015 8738 to strangers 2114 8801, our houses 1004 to aliens 5237.

5:3 We are orphans 3490 and fatherless 369 1, our mothers 517 [are] as widows 490.

5:4 We have drunken 8354 8804 our water 4325 for money 3701; our wood 6086 is sold 935 8799 4242 unto us.(is…: Heb. cometh for price)

5:6 We have given 5414 8804 the hand 3027 [to] the Egyptians 4714, [and to] the Assyrians 804, to be satisfied 7646 8800 with bread 3899.

5:7 Our fathers 1 have sinned 2398 8804, [and are] not 369; and we have borne 5445 8804 their iniquities 5771.

5:8 Servants 5650 have ruled 4910 8804 over us: [there is] none that doth deliver 6561 8802 [us] out of their hand 3027.

5:9 We gat 935 8686 our bread 3899 with [the peril of] our lives 5315 because 6440 of the sword 2719 of the wilderness 4057.

5:10 Our skin 5785 was black 3648 8738 like an oven 8574 because 6440 of the terrible 2152 famine 7458.(terrible: or, terrors, or, storms)

5:14 The elders 2205 have ceased 7673 8804 from the gate 8179, the young men 970 from their musick 5058.

5:15 The joy 4885 of our heart 3820 is ceased 7673 8804; our dance 4234 is turned 2015 8738 into mourning 60.
