3 We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.
         
                                
                        4 We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold unto us.
         
                                
                        5 Our pursuers are upon our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
         
                                
                        6 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
         
                                
                        7 Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.
         
                                
                        8 Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
         
                                
                        9 We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
