Lamentations 5:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸ 
Servants rule over us;
There is no one to rescue us out of their hand.^(A)
9 
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
Because of the sword [of the Arabs] in the wilderness [who may attack if we go out to harvest the crop].
¹⁰ 
Our skin is as hot as [the heat of] an oven
Because of the burning heat of [the fever of] famine.
