6 We extended a hand to Egypt and Assyria,to satisfy our need of bread.
7 Our ancestors, who sinned, are no more;but now we bear their guilt.
8 Servants rule over us,with no one to tear us from their hands.
9 We risk our lives just to get bread,exposed to the desert heat;
10 Our skin heats up like an oven,from the searing blasts of famine.
11 Women are raped in Zion,young women in the cities of Judah;
12 Princes have been hanged by them,elders shown no respect.
