Lamentations 5:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ We are like orphans with no father;
    our mothers are like widows [^Cdefenseless and vulnerable].
⁴ We have to buy the water we drink;
    ·we must pay for the firewood [^Lour wood comes with a price].
⁵ ·Those who chase after us want to catch us [^LWe are pursued] by the neck.
    We are ·tired [exhausted] and find no rest.
