Bible verse
Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
Lamentations 5:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Lamentations 5.
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—
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.
