3 We are orphans and fatherless.Our mothers are as widows.
4 We have drunken our water for money.Our wood is sold to us.
5 Our pursuers are on our necks.We are weary, and have no rest.
6 We have given our hands to the Egyptians,and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more.We have borne their iniquities.
8 Servants rule over us.There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives,because of the sword of the wilderness.
