King James Version
"We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us."
— Lamentations 5:4, King James Version
“We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold unto us. ”
“We have drunken our water for money; Our wood is sold to us.”
“We must pay money for our own water; we must buy our own wood at a steep price.”
“We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.”
“We give money for a drink of water, we get our wood for a price.”
“We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.”
Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
