Lamentations 5:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
Our houses to foreigners.
3
We have become orphans, without a father;
Our mothers are like widows.
4
We have to pay for our drinking water,
Our wood comes
to us
at a price.
5
Our pursuers are at our necks;
We are worn out, we are given no rest.
6
We have submitted to Egypt
and
Assyria to get enough bread.
7
Our fathers sinned,
and
are gone;
It is
we
who
have been burdened with the punishment for their wrongdoings.
8
Slaves rule over us;
There is no one to rescue us from their hand.
9
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
King James Version
Chapter 5
2
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3
We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4
We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5
Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our houses to foreigners.
3
We have become orphans, fatherless;
our mothers are widows.
4
We must pay for the water we drink;
our wood comes at a price.
5
We are closely pursued;
we are tired, and no one offers us rest.
6
We made a treaty with Egypt
and with Assyria, to get enough food.
7
Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist,
but we bear their punishment.
8
Slaves rule over us;
no one rescues us from them.
9
We secure our food at the risk of our lives
because of the sword in the wilderness.
New Living Translation

2
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
our homes to foreigners.
3
We are orphaned and fatherless.
Our mothers are widowed.
4
We have to pay for water to drink,
and even firewood is expensive.
5
Those who pursue us are at our heels;
we are exhausted but are given no rest.
6
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria
to get enough food to survive.
7
Our ancestors sinned, but they have died —
and we are suffering the punishment they deserved!
8
Slaves have now become our masters;
there is no one left to rescue us.
9
We hunt for food at the risk of our lives,
for violence rules the countryside.

at the risk
of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
