Contextual Overview
1 O Lord, remember what has happened to us. Look, and see our shame! 2 The land we received from You has been given over to strangers. Our homes have been given to people from other lands. 3 We have lost our fathers. Our mothers are like those who have lost their husbands. 4 We have to pay for our drinking water, and we must buy our wood. 5 Those who come after us are at our necks. We are tired and cannot rest. 6 We have put out our hands to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread. 7 Our fathers sinned, and are no more, and we have suffered for their sins. 8 Servants rule over us. There is no one to save us from their hand. 9 We put our lives in danger to get our bread, because of the sword in the desert. 10 Our skin has become as hot as fire because of the burning heat 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 - “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.
