Lamentations 5:6 in Context — Lamentations 5
4 Nous buvons notre eau à prix d’argent, Nous payons notre bois.
5 Nous sommes poursuivis, le joug sur le cou; Nous sommes épuisés, nous n’avons point de repos.
6 Nous avons tendu la main vers l’Égypte, vers l’Assyrie, Pour nous rassasier de pain.
7 Nos pères ont péché, ils ne sont plus, Et c’est nous qui portons la peine de leurs iniquités.
8 Des esclaves dominent sur nous, Et personne ne nous délivre de leurs mains.
