New King James Version
Lamentations 5:17-22
New King James Version
17 Because of this our heart is faint;
(A)Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is (B)desolate,
With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, (C)remain forever;
(D)Your throne from generation to generation.
20 (E)Why do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?
21 (F)Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be [a]restored;
Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
