Lamentations 5:2-7
2“The land we inherited has been turned over to strangers. Our homes have been turned over to foreigners.
3We are orphans without a father. Our mothers are like widows.
4We have to pay to drink our own water. We have to pay to chop our own wood.
5⌞Our enemies⌟ are breathing down our necks. We are worn out ⌞and⌟ not permitted to rest.
6We had to beg Egypt and Assyria for food.
7Our ancestors sinned. Now they are gone, ⌞but⌟ we have to take the punishment for their wickedness.
