Lamentations 5:8 ASV

⁶  We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

⁷  Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.

⁸  Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.

⁹  We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

¹⁰  Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
