Мы выпили нашу воду за деньги; Наш лес приходит к нам по цене.
Rashi
We pay to drink our own water. Since we were afraid to draw water from the river because of the enemies, we bought [water] from them with money.1Alternatively, ‘we are accustomed to drink from silver cups, and now we even have to pay to drink from wooden cups. (Yalkut Me’am Lo’ez)
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Our water” [5:4]. We are afraid of the nations to draw water. We must buy water for silver and the same for kindling wood.27Rashi, Lamentations, 5:4.
