Lamentations 5:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Our wives have been raped on Mount Zion itself;
    in every Judean village our daughters have been forced to submit.

¹² Our leaders have been taken and hanged;
    our elders are shown no respect.

¹³ Our young men are forced to grind grain like slaves;
    boys go staggering under heavy loads of wood.
