New Testament

Lamentations 5:2-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our homes to foreigners.

3. We have become orphans and fatherless;our mothers are like widows.

4. We must pay for the water we drink;our wood is sold to us.

5. Our pursuers are at our necks;we labor and have no rest.

6. We have given our hand to Egypt and to Assyria,to be satisfied with bread.
