Lamentations 5:2-4

The Voice

² All that You gave to us has been handed over to strangers.
    Even our houses foreigners have taken for their own.
³ Abandoned too early and on our own, we are like fatherless children;
    and our mothers, now widows, have nothing either.
⁴ The most basic necessities, food and water,
    shelter and warmth, we must pay dearly for.
