Lamentations 4:3-6
New International Version
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(A)
4 Because of thirst(B) the infant’s tongue
sticks to the roof of its mouth;(C)
the children beg for bread,
but no one gives it to them.(D)
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(E)
now lie on ash heaps.(F)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(G)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
