Lamentations 5:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ They work us hard as if we were animals with a yoke on our necks.
    We get tired and have no rest.
⁶ We made an agreement with Egypt
    and with Assyria to get enough food.
⁷ Our ancestors sinned against you. But they are gone.
    Now we must suffer because of their sins.
