Lamentations 5:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Our pursuers breathe down^[a] our necks;
    we are weary, but there is no rest for us.

⁶ We made a deal with the Egyptians and the Assyrians
    for the price of food.^[b]

⁷ Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist
    yet we continue to bear the consequences of their sin.
