Lamentations 5:2-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.

3. We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.

4. We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.

5. We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.

6. We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.

7. Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.

8. Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
