Lamentations 5:6-12

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.

8Slaves rule over us; there is no one to rescue us from their power.

9At the risk of our lives we get our food because robbers lurk in the countryside.

10Our skin is hot as an oven due to a fever from hunger.

11They raped women in Zion, virgins in the towns of Judah.

12Princes were hung by their hands; elders were mistreated.
