2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
3. We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.
4. We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.
5. Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.
6. We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
7. Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.
8. Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
9. We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.
