Lamentations 5:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ In the place where God should be—
    Zion and the surrounding towns of Judah—
Women, young and old alike,
    are brutally raped and violated.
¹² Our leaders are made an example, hung by their hands,
    and our elders are treated with contempt.
¹³ Our best youths are forced to grind grain relentlessly;
    and boys stagger, bent under burdens of wood too heavy.
