Read in context

Lamentations 5:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.

19 You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.

20 Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?

21 Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,

22 unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
