2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.
3 We have become orphans, fatherless;our mothers are like widows.
4 We must pay for the water we drink;the wood we get must be bought.
5 Our pursuers are at our necks;we are weary; we are given no rest.
6 We have given the hand to Egypt, and to Assyria,to get bread enough.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more; and we bear their iniquities.
8 Slaves rule over us;there is none to deliver us from their hand.
