Lamentations 5:2-7

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

3We have become orphans, fatherless; our mothers are widows.

4We must pay for the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.

5We are closely pursued; we are tired, and no one offers us rest.

6We made a treaty with Egypt and with Assyria, to get enough food.

7Our ancestors sinned; they no longer exist, but we bear their punishment.
