6. We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.

8. Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.
9. We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10. Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
