Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

A pitiful complaint of Zion in prayer unto God.

5:1 ¶ Remember, 2142 z8798 O LORD, 3068 what x4100 is come x1961 upon us: consider, 5027 z8685 and behold 7200 z8798 x853 our reproach. 2781

5:2 Our inheritance 5159 is turned 2015 z8738 to strangers, 2114 z8801 our houses 1004 to aliens. 5237

5:3 We are x1961 orphans 3490 and fatherless, 369 1 our mothers 517 [are] as widows. 490

5:4 We have drunken 8354 z8804 our water 4325 for money; 3701 our wood 6086 is sold 935 4242 z8799 unto us.

5:5 Our necks 6677 [are] under x5921 persecution: 7291 z8738 we labour, 3021 z8804 [and] have no rest. 5117 z8717 x3808

5:6 We have given 5414 z8804 the hand 3027 [to] the Egyptians, 4714 [and to] the Assyrians, 804 to be satisfied 7646 z8800 with bread. 3899

5:7 Our fathers 1 have sinned, 2398 z8804 [and are] not; 369 and we x587 have borne 5445 z8804 their iniquities. 5771

5:8 Servants 5650 have ruled y4910 z8804 over x4910 us: [there is] none x369 that doth deliver 6561 z8802 [us] out of their hand. 3027 x4480

5:9 We gat 935 z8686 our bread 3899 with [the peril of] our lives 5315 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 the sword 2719 of the wilderness. 4057

5:10 Our skin 5785 was black 3648 z8738 like an oven 8574 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 the terrible 2152 famine. 7458

5:11 They ravished 6031 z8765 the women 802 in Zion, 6726 [and] the maids 1330 in the cities 5892 of Judah. 3063

5:12 Princes 8269 are hanged up 8518 z8738 by their hand: 3027 the faces 6440 of elders 2205 were not x3808 honoured. 1921 z8738

5:13 They took 5375 z8804 the young men 970 to grind, 2911 and the children 5288 fell 3782 z8804 under the wood. 6086

5:14 The elders 2205 have ceased 7673 z8804 from the gate, 8179 x4480 the young men 970 from their musick. 5058 x4480

5:15 The joy 4885 of our heart 3820 is ceased; 7673 z8804 our dance 4234 is turned 2015 z8738 into mourning. 60

5:16 The crown 5850 is fallen 5307 z8804 [from] our head: 7218 woe 188 unto us, that x3588 we have sinned! 2398 z8804

5:17 For x5921 this x2088 our heart 3820 is x1961 faint; 1739 for x5921 these x428 [things] our eyes 5869 are dim. 2821 z8804

5:18 Because of x5921 the mountain 2022 of Zion, 6726 which x7945 is desolate, 8074 z8804 the foxes 7776 walk 1980 z8765 upon it.

5:19 Thou, x859 O LORD, 3068 remainest 3427 z8799 for ever; 5769 thy throne 3678 from generation 1755 to generation. 1755

5:20 Wherefore x4100 dost thou forget 7911 z8799 us for ever, 5331 [and] forsake 5800 z8799 us so long 753 time? 3117

5:21 Turn 7725 z8685 thou us unto x413 thee, O LORD, 3068 and we shall be turned; 7725 z8799 renew 2318 z8761 our days 3117 as of old. 6924

5:22 But x3588 x518 thou hast utterly y3988 z8800 rejected 3988 z8804 us; thou art very y3966 wroth 7107 z8804 x5704 x3966 against x5921 us.
