8. Slaves rule over us;there is no one to rescue us from their power.
9. At the risk of our lives we get our food because robbers lurk in the countryside.
10. Our skin is hot as an ovendue to a fever from hunger.
11. They raped women in Zion,virgins in the towns of Judah.
12. Princes were hung by their hands; elders were mistreated.
13. The young men perform menial labor;boys stagger from their labor.
14. The elders are gone from the city gate;the young men have stopped playing their music.
15. Our hearts no longer have any joy;our dancing is turned to mourning.
16. The crown has fallen from our head;woe to us, for we have sinned!
