Lamentations 5:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Our ancestors sinned, but they are dead.
Now we have the troubles that you caused because of them.
You punished us because of their sin.^[a]
8 Slaves now rule us.
And there is nobody to save us from their power.
⁹ We meet danger when we work in the fields.^[b]
Enemies are everywhere and they want to kill us.
