Lamentations 5:8 DBY

⁶  We have given the hand to Egypt, [and] to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.

⁷  Our fathers have sinned, [and] they are not; and we bear their iniquities.

⁸  Bondmen rule over us: there is no deliverer out of their hand.

⁹  We have to get our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

¹⁰  Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the burning heat of the famine.
