9. With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
10. Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of scarcity of food.
11. They have humbled the women in Tsiyon, The maidens in the cities of Yehuḏah.
12. Rulers were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.
13. They have taken young men to grind, And youths stumbled under loads of wood.
