Lamentations 5:5

We are pursued – they are breathing down our necks; ¹  we are weary and have no rest. ² 

Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are weary and find no rest.

Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.

Those who pursue us are at our heels; we are exhausted but are given no rest.

We're nothing but slaves, bullied and bowed, worn out and without any rest.

Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.

With a yoke on our necks we are hard driven; we are weary, we are given no rest.

They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest.

We are pursued – they are breathing down our necks; ¹  we are weary and have no rest. ² 

¹ tn Heb “We are hard-driven on our necks”

² sn For the theological allusion that goes beyond physical rest, see, e.g., Deut 12:10; 25:19; Josh 1:13; 11:23; 2 Sam 7:1, 11; 1 Chron 22:18; 2 Chron 14:6-7
