Lamentations 5:6-12

6We have held out our hand to Egypt and Assyria to be satisfied with bread.

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

8Slaves rule over us. There is no one to deliver us from their hand.

9We get our bread at the peril of our lives because of the sword in the desert.

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

11The women in Zion have been ravished, maidens in the towns of Judah.

12Princes are hung up by their hands; elders are dishonored.
