Lamentations 5:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ We must pay money for the water that we drink.
We must buy wood for our fires.
⁵ Our enemies cause us to work like animals.
But the work is too difficult
and they will not let us rest.
⁶ We gave ourselves to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians,
so that we could get food to eat.
