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.
9 We get our bread at the risk of our livesbecause of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,feverish from hunger.
