4. We must pay money for our own water;we must buy our own wood at a steep price.
5. We are pursued – they are breathing down our necks;we are weary and have no rest.
6. We have submitted to Egypt and Assyriain order to buy food to eat.
7. Our forefathers sinned and are dead,but we suffer their punishment.
8. Slaves rule over us;there is no one to rescue us from their power.
