1. Remember, Lord, what happened to us. Look and see our shame.
2. Our land has been turned over to strangers. Our houses have been given to foreigners.
3. We have become orphans. We have no father. Our mothers have become like widows.
4. We have to buy the water that we drink. We have to pay for the wood that we use.
5. We are forced to wear a yoke on our necks. We get tired, and we have no rest.
6. We made an agreement with Egypt. We also made an agreement with Assyria to get enough bread.
