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.
7. Our fathers sinned and are no more,but we bear their iniquities.
8. Slaves rule over us;there is no one to deliver us from their hand.
9. We get our bread at the peril of our lives,because of the sword in the wilderness.
10. Our skin is hot as an oven,because of the terrible famine.
