Lamentations 5:6-12
6We have givenH5414 the handH3027 to the EgyptiansH4713,And to the Assyrians, to be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.7Our fathersH1 sinnedH2398, and are not;And we have borne their iniquitiesH5771.8ServantsH5650 ruleH4910 over us:There is none to deliver us out of their handH3027.9We get our breadH3899 at the peril of our livesH5315,Because of the swordH2719 of the wildernessH4057.10Our skinH5785 is black like an ovenH8574,Because of the burningH2152 heatH2152 of famineH7458.11They ravished the womenH802 in ZionH6726,The virginsH1330 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.12PrincesH8269 were hangedH8518 up by their handH3027:The facesH6440 of eldersH2205 were not honored.
