The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:
The onslaught of this evil was severe and hard for all to bear.
Yet the worst and most grievous thing of all was the onrush of evils.
And very bad was this invasion of evils and grievous to all.
The oppression was harsh and almost intolerable.
The visitation of this evil was harsh and utterly grievous.
After this, those foreigners abused our people so cruelly that we almost lost hope.
