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!
17. Because of this, our hearts are sick;because of these things, we can hardly see through our tears.
18. For wild animals are prowling over Mount Zion,which lies desolate.
