Lamentations 5:4

2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.

3 We have become fatherless orphans; our mothers are widows.

We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.

5 We are closely pursued; we are weary and find no rest.

6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
