NASB
"We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price."
— Lamentations 5:4, NASB
“We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.”
“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 has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.
We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.
Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.
We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.
