Lamentations 5:8 in Context — Lamentations 5

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.

9 Nous cherchons notre pain au péril de notre vie, Devant l’épée du désert.

10 Notre peau est brûlante comme un four, Par l’ardeur de la faim.
