Lamentations 4:6-8
Living Bible
6 For the sin of my people is greater than that of Sodom, where utter disaster struck in a moment without the hand of man.
7 Our princes were lean and tanned,[a] the finest specimens of men; 8 but now their faces are as black as soot. No one can recognize them. Their skin sticks to their bones; it is dry and hard and withered.

- Lamentations 4:7 were lean and tanned, literally, “were purer than snow, whiter than milk, more ruddy than rubies, polished like sapphires.”
