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.
13 Young men carry millstones,boys stagger under loads of wood;
14 The elders have abandoned the gate,the young men their music.
15 The joy of our hearts has ceased,dancing has turned into mourning;
