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.
