New International Version Anglicized

Lamentations 5:6-12 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

6. We submitted to Egypt and Assyriato get enough bread.

7. Our ancestors sinned and are no more,and we bear their punishment.

8. Slaves rule over us,and there is no one to free us from their hands.

9. We get our bread at the risk of our livesbecause of the sword in the desert.

10. Our skin is hot as an oven,feverish from hunger.

11. Women have been violated in Zion,and virgins in the towns of Judah.

12. Princes have been hung up by their hands;elders are shown no respect.
