American Standard Version
"Our pursuers are upon our necks: We are weary, and have no rest. "
— Lamentations 5:5, American Standard Version
“Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.”
“Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.”
“We are pursued– they are breathing down our necks; we are weary and have no rest.”
“We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.”
“Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.”
“Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.”
Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, Our houses unto 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 pursuers are upon our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.
Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
