Lamentations 4:1-3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Terrors of the Besieged City
א Alef
4 How the gold has become tarnished,
the fine gold become dull!
The stones of the temple[a] lie scattered
at the corner of every street.(A)
ב Bet
2 Zion’s precious people—
once worth their weight in pure gold(B)—
how they are regarded as clay jars,
the work of a potter’s hands!
ג Gimel
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my dear people have become cruel
like ostriches(C) in the wilderness.
