1. lord, remember what has happened to us.See how we have been disgraced!
2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.
3. We are orphaned and fatherless.Our mothers are widowed.
4. We have to pay for water to drink,and even firewood is expensive.
5. Those who pursue us are at our heels;we are exhausted but are given no rest.
6. We submitted to Egypt and Assyriato get enough food to survive.
7. Our ancestors sinned, but they have died—and we are suffering the punishment they deserved!
8. Slaves have now become our masters;there is no one left to rescue us.
9. We hunt for food at the risk of our lives,for violence rules the countryside.
10. The famine has blackened our skinas though baked in an oven.
