Lamentations 4:1-3
Easy-to-Read Version
The Horrors of the Attack on Jerusalem
4 See how the gold has grown dark,
how the pure gold has changed.
There are jewels[a] scattered all around
at every street corner.
2 The precious people of Zion
were once worth more than gold.
But now they are treated like something worthless,
like the cheap clay jars a potter makes.
3 Even a wild dog feeds her babies.
Even the jackal lets her pups suck at her breast.
But the daughter of my people[b] is cruel.
She is like the ostrich in the desert that forgets its eggs in the sand.
