Lamentations 5:7-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.

8. Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.

9. We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.

10. Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.

11. They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
