Threni 5

Studie

   

1 Recordare, Domine, quid acciderit nobis ; intuere et respice opprobrium nostrum.

2 Hæreditas nostra versa est ad alienos, domus nostræ ad extraneos.

3 Pupilli facti sumus absque patre, matres nostræ quasi viduæ.

4 Aquam nostram pecunia bibimus ; ligna nostra pretio comparavimus.

5 Cervicibus nostris minabamur, lassis non dabatur requies.

6 Ægypto dedimus manum et Assyriis, ut saturaremur pane.

7 Patres nostri peccaverunt, et non sunt : et nos iniquitates eorum portavimus.

8 Servi dominati sunt nostri : non fuit qui redimeret de manu eorum.

9 In animabus nostris afferebamus panem nobis, a facie gladii in deserto.

10 Pellis nostra quasi clibanus exusta est, a facie tempestatum famis.

11 Mulieres in Sion humiliaverunt, et virgines in civitatibus Juda.

12 Principes manu suspensi sunt ; facies senum non erubuerunt.

13 Adolescentibus impudice abusi sunt, et pueri in ligno corruerunt.

14 Senes defecerunt de portis, juvenes de choro psallentium.

15 Defecit gaudium cordis nostri ; versus est in luctum chorus noster.

16 Cecidit corona capitis nostri : væ nobis, quia peccavimus !

17 Propterea mœstum factum est cor nostrum ; ideo contenebrati sunt oculi nostri,

18 propter montem Sion quia disperiit ; vulpes ambulaverunt in eo.

19 Tu autem, Domine, in æternum permanebis, solium tuum in generationem et generationem.

20 Quare in perpetuum oblivisceris nostri, derelinques nos in longitudine dierum ?

21 Converte nos, Domine, ad te, et convertemur ; innova dies nostros, sicut a principio.

22 Sed projiciens repulisti nos : iratus es contra nos vehementer.

23. Nothing is more common in the Word than for the word 'day' to be used to mean the particular time at which events take place, as in Isaiah,

The day of Jehovah is near. Behold, the day of Jehovah comes. I will make heaven tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, on the day of My fierce anger. Its time is close at hand, and its days will not be prolonged. Isaiah 13:6, 9, 13, 22.

And in the same prophet,

Her antiquity is in the days of antiquity. On that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Isaiah 23:7, 15.

Since 'day' stands for the particular time it also stands for the state associated with that particular time, as in Jeremiah, Woe to us, for the day has declined, for the shadows of evening have lengthened! Jeremiah 6:4

And in the same prophet,

If you break My covenant that is for the day and My covenant that is for the night, so that there is neither daytime nor night at their appointed time. Jeremiah 33:20, 25.

Also,

Renew our days as of old. Lamentations 5:21.
