3. We have become orphans, fatherless, Our mothers are like widows.
4. We had to pay for our drinking water, And our wood comes at a price.
5. We have been pursued close onto our neck, We have laboured and had no rest.
6. To Mitsrayim we have given a hand; To Ashshur, to be satisfied with bread.
7. Our fathers sinned, they are no more. We have borne their crookednesses.
8. Servants have ruled over us; There is no one to deliver from their hand.
