8 Servants rule over us;
There is none to deliver
us from their hand.
9 We get our bread
at the risk of our lives,
Because of the sword in the wilderness.
10 Our skin is hot as an oven,
Because of the fever of famine.
11 They
aravished the women in Zion,
The maidens in the cities of Judah.
12 Princes were hung up by their hands,
And elders were not respected.
13 Young men
aground at the millstones;
Boys staggered under
loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased
gathering at the gate,
And the young men from their
amusic.
