Lamentations 5:2-7

2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.

3We have become orphans without a father; Our mothers are like widows.

4We have to pay for our drinking water; Our wood comes to us at a price.

5Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.

6We have given the hand [as a pledge of fidelity and submission] to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.

7Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have carried their sin.
