Lamentations 5:3-7 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

3. We have become fatherless,our mothers are widows.

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

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

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

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