Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us: behold, and look on our reproach.

Our inheritance has been turned away to aliens, our houses to strangers:

we are become orphans, we have no father, our mothers are as widows.

We have drunk our water for money; our wood is sold to us for a burden on our neck:
6 ⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲓ ⲛⲥⲱⲛ ⲁⲛϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲧⲟⲛ .
we have been persecuted, we have laboured, we have had no rest.
7 ⲭⲏⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϯⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥⲥⲟⲩⲣ ⲁⲩⲥⲓ ⲛⲱⲓⲕ .
Egypt gave the hand to us, Assur to their own satisfaction.

Our fathers sinned, and are not: we have borne their iniquities.

Servants have ruled over us: there is none to ransom us out of their hand.

We shall bring in our bread with danger of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

Our skin is blackened like an oven; they are convulsed, because of the storms of famine.

They humbled the women in Sion, the virgins in the cities of Juda.

Princes were hanged up by their hands: the elders were not honoured.

The chosen men lifted up the voice in weeping, and the youths fainted under the wood.
15 ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓϧⲉⲗⲗⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲗⲟϫⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛⲛⲓⲡⲩⲗⲏ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲛⲕ ⲛϫⲉⲛⲓⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲗⲙⲟⲥ .
And the elders ceased from the gate, the chosen men ceased from their music.
16 ⲁϥⲕⲏⲛ ⲛϫⲉⲫⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲭⲟⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲉⲃ ⲉⲩϩⲏⲃⲓ .
The joy of our heart has ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
17 ⲁϥϩⲉⲓ ⲛϫⲉⲡⲓⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲁⲛⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ .
The crown has fallen from our head: yea, woe to us! for we have sinned.

For this has grief come; our heart is sorrowful: for this our eyes are darkened.
19 ⲉϫⲉⲛⲡⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲓⲱⲛ ϫⲉⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲓⲃⲁϣⲟⲣ ⲁⲩⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ .
Over the mountain of Sion, because it is made desolate, foxes have walked therein.

But thou, O Lord, shalt dwell for ever; thy throne shall endure to generation and generation.

Turn us, O Lord, to thee, and we shall be turned; and renew our days as before.

For thou hast indeed rejected us; thou hast been very wroth against us.
