5 Lord, remember what has happened to us.
Look, and see our disgrace!e
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;
our wood comes at a price.
we are tired, and no one offers us rest.
6 We made a treaty withB Egypt
and with Assyria, to get enough food.f
7 Our ancestors sinned; they no longer exist,
but we bear their punishment.
8 Slaves rule over us;g
no one rescues us from them.
9 We secure our food at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is as hotC as an ovenh
from the ravages of hunger.
11 Women have been raped in Zion,
virgins in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes have been hung up by their hands;
elders are shown no respect.i
13 Young men labor at millstones;j
boys stumble under loads of wood.
14 The elders have left the city gate,
the young men, their music.k
15 Joy has left our hearts;l
our dancing has turned to mourning.
16 The crown has fallen from our head.m
Woe to us, for we have sinned.n
17 Because of this, our heart is sick;
because of these, our eyes grow dim:o
18 because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate
and has jackals prowling in it.p
19 You, Lord, are enthroned forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation.q
20 Why do you continually forget us,r
abandon us for our entire lives?
21 Lord, bring us back to yourself, so we may return;s
renew our days as in former times,
22 unless you have completely rejected us
and are intensely angry with us.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
