Lamentations 5:9-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

9We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness. 10Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the ravages of hunger. 11They violated the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah. 12Leaders were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.
King James Version

Chapter 5

9We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
Christian Standard Bible

New Living Translation

Chapter 5

9We hunt for food at the risk of our lives, for violence rules the countryside. 10The famine has blackened our skin as though baked in an oven. 11Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem and the young girls in all the towns of Judah. 12Our princes are being hanged by their thumbs, and our elders are treated with contempt.
English Standard Version

New International Version

9We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the desert. 10Our skin is hot as an oven, feverish from hunger. 11Women have been violated in Zion, and virgins in the towns of Judah. 12Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders are shown no respect.
New King James Version

Chapter 5

9We get our bread at the risk of our lives, Because of the sword in the wilderness. 10Our skin is hot as an oven, Because of the fever of famine. 11They ravished the women in Zion, The maidens in the cities of Judah. 12Princes were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.
