Lamentations 5:6-12
-
6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
-
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
-
8 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
-
9 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
-
10 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
-
11 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
-
12 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
