We have given the hand [as a pledge of fidelity and submission] to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.
We get our bread at the risk of our lives
Because of the sword [of the Arabs] in the wilderness [who may attack if we go out to harvest the crop].
Our skin is as hot as [the heat of] an oven
Because of the burning heat of [the fever of] famine.
The crown has fallen from our head [our honor is covered with dust]!
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
