Contextual Overview
1 Remember, Adonai , what has happened to us; look, and see our disgrace. 2 The land we possessed has been passed on to strangers, our homes to foreigners. 3 We have become fatherless orphans, our mothers now are widows. 4 We have to pay to drink our own water; we have to buy our own wood. 5 The yoke is on our necks; we are persecuted; we toil to exhaustion but are given no rest. 6 We made pacts with Egypt and Ashur to get enough food. 7 Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist; we bear the weight of their guilt. 8 We are ruled by slaves, and there is no one to save us from their power. 9 We get our food at the peril of our lives because of the sword in the desert. 10 Our skins are as black as a furnace because of the searing blasts of famine.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Our inheritance is turned to strangers,.... The land of Canaan in general, which was given to Abraham and his seed to be their inheritance; and their field, and vineyards in particular, which came to them by inheritance from their fathers, were now in the hands of the Chaldeans, strangers to God, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, as all Gentiles were, Ephesians 2:12;
our houses to aliens; which they had built or purchased, or their fathers had left them, were now inhabited by those of another country.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Turned - “transferred.” The inheritance was the land of Canaan Leviticus 20:24.
Aliens - Or, “foreigners:” i. e. the Chaldaeans upon their conquest of the country.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Lamentations 5:2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers — The greater part of the Jews were either slain or carried away captive; and even those who were left under Gedaliah were not free, for they were vassals to the Chaldeans.
