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.
