耶利米哀歌 4:5-7

Chinese New Version (Simplified)

⁵那些从前吃美食的，现今都在街上孤单凄凉；

那些从前在豪奢生活中长大的，现今却在垃圾堆中打滚。

⁶我众民（“我众民”原文作“我子民的女子”）的罪孽比所多玛的罪恶更大；

所多玛在转眼之间倾覆了，尽管无人攻击它。

⁷锡安的贵族素来比雪更明亮，比奶更洁白；

他们的身体比红宝石更红润，他们的样貌像蓝宝石一样美丽。

Lamentations 4:5-7

New International Version

⁵Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple^(A)
now lie on ash heaps.^(B)

⁶The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,^(C)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.

⁷Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.

Lamentations 4:5-7

New King James Version

⁵Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
^(A)Embrace ash heaps.

⁶The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the ^(B)sin of Sodom,
Which was ^(C)overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!

⁷Her ^[a]Nazirites were ^[b]brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their ^[c]appearance.
