Lamentations 5:4-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
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. 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.King James Version
Chapter 5
4We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
4We have to pay for water to drink, and even firewood is expensive. 5Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are exhausted but are given no rest. 6We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough food to survive. 7Our ancestors sinned, but they have died — and we are suffering the punishment they deserved!English Standard Version
