Ekhah 4:1-3

Orthodox Jewish Bible

4 How has the zahav lost its luster! How is the most fine gold changed! The avnei kodesh are poured out on every street corner.

² The precious Bnei Tziyon, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the yotzer (potter)!

³ Even the jackals offer the breast; they nurse their young ones; the Bat Ami is become heartless, like the ostriches in the midbar.
