Lamentations 5:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 [a]Why have you utterly forgotten us,
forsaken us for so long?(A)
21 Bring us back to you, Lord, that we may return:
renew our days as of old.(B)
22 For now you have indeed rejected us
and utterly turned your wrath against us.(C)
Footnotes
- 5:20–22 Unlike most of the laments found in the Book of Psalms, the Book of Lamentations never moves from lament to thanksgiving. It ends with this question still unanswered by God: “Why have you utterly forgotten us?”
