Lamentations 5:8

²²For a servant when he is king, a fool when he is filled with food,

¹⁵But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, plus forty shekels^[+] of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people, but I didn’t do so, because of the fear of God.

⁶For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”

²lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

⁴His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,

¹⁹But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they ridiculed us and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?”

⁴³The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.

¹³Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”

²²“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

²⁵He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
