Lamentations 5:5-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
5 Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, we are given no rest. 6We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread. 7Our fathers sinned, and are gone; It is we who have been burdened with the punishment for their wrongdoings. 8Slaves rule over us; There is no one to rescue us from their hand. 9We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
5We are closely pursued; we are tired, and no one offers us rest. 6We made a treaty with Egypt and with Assyria, to get enough food. 7Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist, but we bear their punishment. 8Slaves rule over us; no one rescues us from them. 9We secure our food at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.New Living Translation
English Standard Version
