10 Our skin is as hot as an oven. We are so hungry we're burning up with fever.
11 Our women have been raped in Zion. Our virgins have been raped in the towns of Judah.
12 Our princes have been hung up by their hands. No one shows our elders any respect.
13 Our young men are forced to grind grain at the mill. Our boys almost fall down as they carry heavy loads of wood.
14 Our elders don't go to the city gate anymore. Our young men have stopped playing their music.
15 There isn't any joy in our hearts. Our dancing has turned into sobbing.
16 All of our honor is gone. How terrible it is for us! We have sinned.
