Contextual Overview
1Lord, remember what has happened to us. 2Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,our houses to foreigners.3We have become orphans, fatherless;our mothers are widows. 4We must pay for the water we drink;our wood comes at a price. 5We are closely pursued;we are tired, and no one offers us rest. 6We made a treaty with Egyptand with Assyria, to get enough food. 7Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist,but we bear their punishment. 8Slaves rule over us;no one rescues us from them. 9We secure our food at the risk of our livesbecause of the sword in the wilderness. 10Our skin is as hot as an ovenfrom the ravages of hunger.

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 - âtransferred.â The inheritance was the land of Canaan Leviticus 20:24.
Aliens - Or, âforeigners:â 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.
