Lamentations 5:2-7
2Our inheritance is turned over to strangers; foreigners now occupy our homes.
3We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers have become widows.
4We must pay money for our own water; we must buy our own wood at a steep price.
5We are pursued – they are breathing down our necks; we are weary and have no rest.
6We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria in order to buy food to eat.
7Our forefathers sinned and are dead, but we suffer their punishment.
