Lamentations 5:20

Verse 20 of 22. The 5th of 5 chapters in Lamentations, in The Major Prophets.

16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

19Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

21Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
