“We have given our hands to the Egyptians,and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.”
Lamentations 5:6 (WEB)
Context Reading
4We must pay for water to drink.Our wood is sold to us. 5Our pursuers are on our necks.We are weary, and have no rest. 6We have given our hands to the Egyptians,and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7Our fathers sinned, and are no more.We have borne their iniquities. 8Servants rule over us.There is no one to deliver us out of their hand.
