New King James Version (NKJV)
Lamentations 4
19 Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the heavens. They pursued us on the mountains And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, Was caught in their pits, Of whom we said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations."
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, You who dwell in the land of Uz! The cup shall also pass over to you And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.
22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; He will no longer send you into captivity. He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will uncover your sins!
Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach!
2 Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans and waifs, Our mothers are like widows.
4 We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price.
5 They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest.
6 We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
