Lamentations 5:9-13 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

9. We get our bread at the risk of our livesbecause of the sword in the desert.

10. Our skin is hot as an oven,feverish from hunger.

11. Women have been violated in Zion,and virgins in the towns of Judah.

12. Princes have been hung up by their hands;elders are shown no respect.

13. Young men toil at the millstones;boys stagger under loads of wood.
