2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.
3 We have become fatherless,our mothers are widows.
4 We must buy the water we drink;our wood can be had only at a price.
5 Those who pursue us are at our heels;we are weary and find no rest.
6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyriato get enough bread.
7 Our ancestors sinned and are no more,and we bear their punishment.
8 Slaves rule over us,and there is no one to free us from their hands.
