shame. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Our heritage is given up to men of strange lands, our houses to those who are not our countrymen. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> We are children without fathers, our mothers are like widows. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> We give money for a drink of water, we get our wood for a price. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> We have given our hands to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians so that we might have enough bread. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> We put our lives in danger to get our bread, because of the sword of the waste land. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Our skin is heated like an oven because of our burning heat from need of food. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> They took by force the women in Zion, the virgins in the towns of Judah. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> Their hands put princes to death by hanging: the faces of old men were not honoured. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> The crown has been taken from our head: sorrow is ours, for we are sinners. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark; <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long? <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n
