Lamentations 5:20

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

16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

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

18for the mountain of Zion, which is desolate. The foxes walk on it.

19You, LORD, remain forever. Your throne is from generation to generation.

20Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time?

21Turn us to yourself, LORD, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old.

22But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.
