Lamentations 5:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ On Zion and everywhere in Judah
our wives and daughters
    are being raped.
¹² Our rulers are strung up
    by their arms,
and our nation's advisors
    are treated shamefully.
¹³ Young men are forced
    to do the work of slaves;
boys must carry
    heavy loads of wood.
