The Orisoun of Jeremye, profete.
1 Recorde, Lord, what hath falle to vs;
inwardly looke, and behold oure repref.
2 Oure eretage turned is to alienes, oure
houses to straungeres.
3 Faderles childer
we ben mad with oute fader; oure moders
as widewis.
4 Oure water in monee
wee han drunke, oure trees for pris wee
han bo&yogh;t.
5 Bi oure nollis we were dryue,
and to the weri was not &yogh;oue reste.
6 To
Egipt wee &yogh;eeuen hond, and to Assiries,
that wee shulde be fulfild with bred.
7 Oure faders synneden, and ben not, and
wee the wickidnesses of hem han born.
8 Seruauns lordshipeden of vs, and ther
was not, that a&yogh;een shulde bie fro the
hond of hem.
9 In oure lyues we bro&yogh;ten
to bred to vs, fro the face of the swerd
in desert.
10 Oure skin as an ouene is tobrent,
fro the face of tempestus of hunger.
11 Wymmen in Sion thei meekiden, and
maidenus in the cites of Juda.
12 Princes bi
the hond ben hangid vp; faces of olde men
thei shameden not.
13 The &yogh;unge wymmen
-- --
vnchastli thei mysvseden, and the childer
in tree togidere fellen.
14 Olde men faileden
of the &yogh;atus; &yogh;unge men of the quer of
syngeres.
15 Failede the io&yogh;e of oure herte;
turned is in to weiling oure quer.
16 Fel
the croune of oure hed; wo to vs! for
wee han synned.
17 Therfore dreri mad is
oure herte, therfore to-dercned ben oure
e&yogh;en.
18 For the mount of Sion, for it disperisht;
wlues &yogh;iden in it.
19 Thou, forsothe,
Lord, in to with oute ende shalt
abide stille; thi see in to ieneracioun and
to ieneracioun.
20 Whi in to with oute
ende thou shalt for&yogh;eten vs, thou shalt
forsake vs in to the lengthe of da&yogh;is?
21 Conuerte vs, Lord, to thee, and we shul
be conuertid; newe thou oure da&yogh;es, as
fro the bigynnyng.
22 But castende awei
thou hast put vs out; thou wrathedist
a&yogh;en vs hugely.
Her endeth Jeremye, and gynneth the
prolog in the boc clepid Baruch.
