10. Our skin is as hot as an ovenbecause of the burning heat of famine.
11. Women have been raped in Zion,young women in Judah’s cities.
12. Officials have been hung up by their hands;elders have been shown no respect.
13. Young men have carried grinding stones;boys have stumbled under loads of wood.
14. Elders have left the city gate;young people stop their music.
15. Joy has left our heart;our dancing has changed into lamentation.
