Midrash sur Les Lamentations 5:4
מֵימֵ֙ינוּ֙ בְּכֶ֣סֶף שָׁתִ֔ינוּ עֵצֵ֖ינוּ בִּמְחִ֥יר יָבֹֽאוּ׃
Notre eau, nous ne pouvons ’la boire qu’à prix d’argent; notre bois, nous n’en disposons qu’en l’achetant.
Eikhah Rabbah
“Our water we drank for money; our wood comes at a price” (Lamentations 5:4).
“Our water we drank for money.” One time, the tormentors entered and took their bread, their wine, their oil, and their water. They then sold it to them. They said: ‘Woe to us that this verse has been realized in our regard: “Our water we drank for money; our wood comes at a price.”’
