Lamentations5:9
9. We gat our bread with ... peril--that is, those of us left in the city after its capture by the Chaldeans.
because of ... sword of ... wilderness--because of the liability to attack by the robber Arabs of the wilderness, through which the Jews had to pass to get "bread" from Egypt (compare La 5:6).
