You let us fall into a trap and placed heavy burdens on our backs.

You let our enemies trample us; we went through fire and flood, but now you have brought us to a place of safety.

I lie defeated in the dust; revive me, as you have promised.

I will give it to those who oppressed you, to those who made you lie down in the streets and trampled on you as if you were dirt."

People who once ate the finest foods die starving in the streets; those raised in luxury are pawing through garbage for food.
