BSB

2 Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to foreigners.

BSB

4 We must buy the water we drink; our wood comes at a price.

BSB

8 Slaves rule over us; there is no one to deliver us from their hands.

BSB

9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives because of the sword in the wilderness.

12 Princes have been hung up by their hands; elders receive no respect.

SVD

13 Young men toil at millstones; boys stagger under loads of wood.

SVD

BSB

14 The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.

14 كَفَّتِ ٱلشُّيُوخُ عَنِ ٱلْبَابِ، وَٱلشُّبَّانُ عَنْ غِنَائِهِمْ.

BSB

15 Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.

BSB

16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

BSB

17 Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—

SVD

BSB

18 because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.

19 You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.

SVD
