Lamentations 5:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸Mount Zion [^CJerusalem] is ·empty [desolate],
and ·wild dogs [jackals] wander around it [Jer. 9:11; 10:22].

¹⁹But you ·rule [sit; ^Cas king] forever, Lord.
·You will be King [^LYour throne] ·from now on [^Lfrom generation to generation].
²⁰Why have you forgotten us for so long?
Have you ·left [abandoned; forsaken] us ·forever [^Lfor length of days]?
