Lamentations 5:2-7

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

3We have become fatherless, our mothers are widows.

4We must buy the water we drink; our wood can be had only at a price.

5Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are weary and find no rest.

6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.

7Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment.
