Lamentations 5:20

18 Because of Mount Zion which is ^adesolate,
With foxes walking about on it.

19 You, O Lord, ^aremain forever;
^bYour throne from generation to generation.

20 ^aWhy do You forget us forever,
And forsake us for so long a time?

21 ^aTurn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be¹ restored;
Renew our days as of old,

22 Unless You have utterly rejected us,
And are very angry with us!
