Our inheritance is handed over to strangers,
Our houses to aliens.
They had had to stand by and watch while their land had been handed over to foreigners, and aliens had taken possession of their houses. They had lost the inheritance that YHWH had given them. Note that this was the fulfilment of the curse in Deuteronomy 28:30. They had been warned. They had no one to blame but themselves. ‘Handed over.' The verb is used of the transfer of property. Compare Isaiah 60:5.
