Lamentations 5:1-16
Remember, Lord, what has come upon us; Look, and see our disgrace!Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.We have become orphans, without a father; Our mothers are like widows.We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, we are given no rest.We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.Our fathers sinned, and are gone; It is we who have been burdened with the punishment for their wrongdoings.Slaves rule over us; There is no one to rescue us from their hand.We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the ravages of hunger.They violated the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.Leaders were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths staggered under loads of wood.Elders are absent from the gate, Young men from their music.The joy of our hearts has ended; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!

Job 30:26-31
When I expected good, evil came; When I waited for light, darkness came.I am seething within and cannot rest; Days of misery confront me.I go about mourning without comfort; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.I have become a brother to jackals, And a companion of ostriches.My skin turns black on me, And my bones burn with fever.Therefore my harp is turned to mourning, And my flute to the sound of those who weep.
