Lamentations 5:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ We put our lives in danger just to get some bread to eat.
    Robbers in the desert might kill us with their swords.
¹⁰ Our skin is as hot as an oven.
    We are so hungry we’re burning up with fever.
¹¹ Our women have been treated badly in Zion.
    Our virgins have been treated badly in the towns of Judah.
